Thomas Davis, a former Carolina Panthers and Los Angeles Chargers linebacker, has found a new home with the Washington Redskins in NFL Free Agency. Davis is reuniting with his former coach in Carolina, Ron Rivera.
The Panthers originally drafted Thomas Davis, a Georgia Bulldog, in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft. The Los Angeles Chargers recently cut Davis, who then became a free agent and signed with Washington. Davis announced the move via his Instagram account:
The Washington Redskins are getting a veteran leader in Thomas Davis, who has battled back to become an elite-level linebacker despite three ACL surgeries. The Redskins defense will be fun to watch in 2020, especially if they add Ohio State’s Chase Young with their number two overall selection.
Davis, who will be 37 years old later this month, can still play high-level football:

Will Thomas Davis and Ron Rivera be able to re-kindle some of the magic that helped the duo make Super Bowl fifty? The Redskins are candidates to go from worst to first in 2020.
