Davis was also asked about LSU’s new Defensive Line Coach, Kyle Williams. The former Tiger DT played 13 years in the NFL before coaching at the high school level prior to joining the Tigers staff. Davis actually coached Williams while he was a player at LSU as well.
“I think they’re getting a good person and a good coach,” said Davis. “I think it’s going to be tremendous for him. The wealth of knowledge he brings from the game to those young men, I think it’s going to be unbelievable.”
