Former Georgia defensive line coach Tracy Rocker, who recruited Davis, is the Eagles’ defensive line coach.
Davis is the second Bulldog taken after Travon Walker went No. 1 overall.
The Charlotte, N.C., native had an incredible season for UGA, racking up Outland Trophy and Chuck Bednarik Award honors along with first team All- American and All-SEC mentions.
Davis backed a great season up with an incredible combine performance that vaulted him into a top-20 draft pick.
