Davis, a third-round pick in 2020 out of Cal, has primarily been a backup on defense during his NFL career but has made plays in limited opportunities. Davis joins projected starters Tony Adams and Chuck Clark, who was also re-signed after he missed all of last season with a torn knee ligament, and Jarrick Bernard-Converse at the safety spot for the Jets. Davis has developed into a top special teams performer, leading the Jets last season with 12 total special teams tackles.
