Carlton Davis
Carlton Davis III (born December 31, 1996) is an American professional football cornerback for the New England Patriots of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Auburn Tigers and was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the second round of the 2018 NFL draft.
Davis attended Miami Norland Senior High School in Miami Gardens, Florida, where he played high school football. He originally committed to Ohio State University to play college football but changed his commitment to Auburn University.
Davis was a starter as a true freshman at Auburn in 2015. He finished the season with 56 tackles and three interceptions. As a sophomore in 2016, he recorded 46 tackles. Davis finished the 2017 season with 36 tackles, 12 pass deflections, and one interception. On January 3, 2018, Davis declared his intentions to enter the 2018 NFL draft.
Davis attended the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis and completed the majority of drills, but opted to skip the short shuttle and three-cone drill. Davis finished eighth among all cornerbacks in the broad jump and bench press. On March 9, 2018, he participated at Auburn's pro day and performed the majority of drills, but elected to skip the bench press, vertical jump, and broad jump. Davis also improved his times in the 40-yard dash (4.44s), 20-yard dash (2.60s), and 10-yard dash (1.59s). At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Davis was projected to a second round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. He was ranked as the sixth best cornerback prospect in the draft by Sports Illustrated, was ranked the eighth best cornerback by DraftScout.com, and was ranked as the ninth best cornerback in the draft by Scouts Inc.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Davis in the second round (63rd overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft. Davis was the second cornerback drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2018 after second round pick (53rd overall) M. J. Stewart and also was the ninth cornerback drafted. The Buccaneers acquired this pick during a trade where they sent their 2018 third round (56th overall) pick to the New England Patriots in exchange for a third round (63rd overall) and fourth round pick (117th overall). The Patriots went on to draft cornerback Duke Dawson while the Buccaneers used their selections on Carlton Davis and safety Jordan Whitehead, who both were let starters and started in Super Bowl LV.
On May 24, 2018, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed Davis to a four–year, $4.39 million contract that includes $2.43 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $1.27 million. Prior to the season-opener, Brent Grimes injured his groin during practice and Davis was subsequently inserted to the starting lineup in his place.
Throughout training camp, he competed to be a starting cornerback against M. J. Stewart, Vernon Hargreaves, and Ryan Smith. Head coach Dirk Koetter named Davis the third cornerback on the depth chart to begin the season, behind starting cornerbacks Brent Grimes and Vernon Hargreaves.
On September 9, 2018, Davis made his professional regular season debut and earned his first career start and recorded four combined tackles (three solo) during a 48–40 win against the New Orleans Saints. In Week 2, Davis recorded a season-high six solo tackles, made a pass deflection, and had his first career fumble recovery via a strip-sack by teammate Kwon Alexander on Nick Foles as the Buccaneers defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 27–21. He was inactive during a Week 655 loss at the Atlanta Falcons after injuring his groin. A knee injury caused him to miss two consecutive games (Weeks 13–14). In Week 16, he recorded two solo tackles and had his first career forced fumble during a 27–20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He finished his rookie season with 40 combined tackles (36 solo), four pass deflections, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery in 13 games and 13 starts. On December 30, 2018, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired head coach Dirk Koetter after they finished the 2018 NFL season with a 5–11 record.
