Blogging The Boys on Malik Davis
From the article
Jaydon Blue, Phil Mafah, Malik Davis, and Israel Abanikanda battled it out for the RB2 role, which Davis ultimately won – apparently in strong enough fashion to push the rest of his competition off the roster entirely.
STACKED’s take
Davis won RB2 role decisively, beating out three competitors for roster spot.
Malik Davis won the RB2 role for the Cowboys and made the 53-man roster, beating out Jaydon Blue, Phil Mafah, and Israel Abanikanda decisively enough to push all other running back competitors off the roster entirely. Davis is one of two similar backs on the roster alongside starter Javonte Williams, both at their best pounding the rock between the tackles. The Cowboys showed a desire to get in on multiple tight end usage trends, and Williams and Davis are the best 'no nonsense' backs to keep for these looks. The source notes the Cowboys prefer to keep players they plan on using in the regular season on ice during exhibition season, and the tea leaves pointed to Davis earning the RB2 role.
