The Cleveland Browns lost Derrick Willies from their 90-man camp roster yesterday but today filled that spot with another receiver. Former Minnesota Vikings receiver Davion Davis was added to the team according to multiple reports.
Davis is familiar with Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski from their time together during Davis’ rookie year with the Vikings in 2019. Davis measures in at 5’11” and just under 200 pounds. He spent the 2019 season up and down from the Vikings practice squad and main roster but did not record a catch.
Late last year, Davis was convicted of a misdemeanor for careless driving, related to alcohol, from a charge in 2019.
His familiarity with Stefanski likely played a role in his addition. With a lot of talented players at the position, it is unlikely that Davis will make the final 53-man roster but could fight for a practice squad position. With Odell Beckham Jr. coming back from injury, the Browns need extra receivers throughout training camp.
