Isaiah Davis Shows Receiving Skills Saturday

3 months ago

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis played a big role in the passing game out of the backfield in Saturday's preseason win over the visiting Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium, reeling in four passes for 33 yards in the victory. However, he only generated eight yards on the ground over four carries. Davis is one of three Jets tailbacks vying for the No. 2 role this summer behind starter Breece Hall on New York's RB depth chart, and he at least showed on Saturday afternoon against the Commanders that he can contribute through the air when given the opportunity. The 22-year-old South Dakota State product put up a robust 7.6 yards per carry over his four-year college career, but for now, he looks like the fourth option out of the backfield in the Meadowlands behind fourth-round rookie Braelon Allen and 2023 fifth-rounder Israel Abanikanda.
