Former Alabama defensive tackle Raekwon Davis had a full four-year collegiate career at the University of Alabama, and he will now be taking his talents to the NFL.
Davis will begin his professional career with the Miami Dolphins after being drafted with the No. 56 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
In his time with the Crimson Tide, he accumulated 175 total tackles, 11.5 sacks, a lone interception and a forced fumble to go along with a fumble recovery.
He was expected to be drafted within rounds two or three, and the Dolphins knew he was the best defensive tackle available.
The 6-foot-6, 311-pound defensive lineman can play all positions on the line, including nose tackle and defensive end.
Head coach Brian Flores knows that they are getting a Nick Saban defensive product, which typically tends to translate well in the NFL, and a leader from Alabama’s defense.
He was forced into a leadership role in 2019 as he was a senior among plenty of underclassmen. This will likely help Davis when getting onto the field with NFL veterans and realize that he, much like the Crimson Tide’s freshmen, will have a lot to learn in his rookie season.
We are excited to see what Davis will do in the years to come as a member of the Miami Dolphins!
