Davis was first charged with reckless driving in Dec. 2021 after going 89 mph in a 65 mph zone. In March 2022, Davis was arrested and charged with reckless driving after being clocked at 114 mph in a 45 mph zone.
He was later convicted of reckless driving and sentenced to 30 days in jail. Davis appealed the ruling, and last July reached an agreement where he would serve eight days in jail. However, the judge deemed the penalty too lenient leading to another agreement that was also rejected.
Davis, 25, was a first-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft and has played 45 games with 36 starts. He has 269 tackles, including 20 for loss, seven sacks and an interception. Davis has continued to improve in each of his three NFL seasons.
