DT Raekwon Davis

(After having a productive rookie season, what do you hope to add to your game this year that will make you a better player?) – “Pass rushing. I feel like there is a lot of stuff I could’ve done more, but definitely pass rushing.”

(You got a new d-line coach this year in Austin Clark. I’m wondering what it’s been like working with him and how he’s helped you kind of develop that pass-rush game?) – “It’s been fun. These last couple of days, he’s been working with us on technique things, on pass rushing, different things we like using. Like with me, I’m a power guy. He’s been working on me with that. It’s been fun. Usually last year he was just teaching the run, but now he’s doing both. It’s been real fun.”

(There is an older gentleman you like to post on your social media when you are working out. I wanted to ask you who that guy is and why you have such a blast training with him?) – “His whole thing is called ‘monster making.’ His name is Sean. I just enjoy working with him. He’s fun. He gets me going. He makes sure I’m just working and staying ahead of the game. (He’s a) fun guy. Every time I’m working with him, it’s serious business, serious weight, and I enjoy working with him.”

(With the emphasis on the serious weight, what are you trying to accomplish with your body?) – “Just trying to slim down more, so I can have the ability to pass rush and have the ability to gain more snaps on the field. Just make sure my nutrition is good and all of that.”

(Did you get kind of surprised by how productive you were as a rookie? Because you didn’t get a ton of playing time early on, but as the season went on, you blossomed.) – “I really don’t – I still feel like it wasn’t a good season. It was all right. Just as the game went on, I got experience with the game and I started moving fast.”

(You guys added another Crimson Tide guy with WR Jaylen Waddle. How would you describe Jaylen’s speed and what do you remember about his speed back at Alabama?) – “Just he’s a fast guy. He gets open, he gets loose, he gets that ball and there is no catching him. He’s explosive and he can control the ball however he wants to do it.”

(Have you been back to Mississippi this offseason? Little bit of a home meal?) – “Yeah. Yeah, I go back and see my son a lot when I’m down on my off time.”
