The Cincinnati Bengals made a key acquisition on Thursday, signing former UFL defensive tackle Carlos Davis to bolster their roster. Davis, a seventh-round draft pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2020, brings a wealth of experience to the Bengals.
During his time with the Steelers from 2020-2022, Davis played in 12 games and recorded 12 tackles and one sack. Despite limited playing time, Davis showed promise and potential as a disruptive force on the defensive line. His performance caught the attention of the Atlanta Falcons, who signed him to their practice squad in 2023.
However, it was with the Birmingham Stallions in the UFL where Davis truly shined. He played a pivotal role in helping the Stallions secure a championship earlier this spring and was recognized for his outstanding play by being named to the All-UFL team.
At 27 years old, Davis is entering the prime of his career and is poised to make a significant impact with the Bengals. His signing adds depth and versatility to Cincinnati’s defensive line, providing valuable support for the team’s pass rush and run defense.
Notably, Davis is the twin brother of Houston Texans defensive tackle Khalil Davis, creating an intriguing storyline as the two brothers now find themselves on rival AFC teams. The Davis brothers’ sibling rivalry is sure to add an extra layer of excitement to their matchups on the field.
Overall, the addition of Carlos Davis is a positive development for the Bengals and their defense. With his talent, experience, and championship-winning pedigree, Davis has the potential to be a difference-maker for Cincinnati in the upcoming season.
Stay tuned for more updates on Davis and the Bengals as they continue to make moves to strengthen their roster for the 2024 season.
