Default Pats to Work Out DE/OLB Bruce Davis

Scout.com reports that the Pats are scheduled to work out former UCLA DE/OLB Bruce Davis, who was a third round draft pick of the Steelers in 2008:

Scout.com: Terdell Sands Profile

"In other team news, the Patriots are expected to work out free-agent DE/OLB Bruce Davis on Tuesday, a league source told Scout.com. Davis, who was third-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2008, was waived by Pittsburgh on September 5. Davis had workouts for the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts recently and scouts say he fits in more at defensive end than at outside linebacker."

Hm. Depth exploration, or are they not getting what they want from someone on the roster?

I liked him coming out of UCLA, and I remember some members on the board did, too.

There was another 3rd rounder who couldn't make it in Pittsburgh...

You don't get those crazy Vrabel-esque returns on recovery projects too often. That said, it seems like we hit on at least one with Brandon McGowan.

Nice. Don't think Davis will be another strike of gold, though:

Seems to have good physical skills such as speed and agility. Must be an upstairs or desire thing..

Based on his combine #s, I don't think that even the physical skills are there, either. And 19 reps @ 225 for a DE/OLB? Fuhgeddaboudit.

Yep, I too really liked him coming out of college. He had great sack numers and is a high motor guy. I don't hink he offers much in the way of setting the edge for the run, but as a situational guy he might work. Nobody else on this roster is flying off the edge.
