Breaking: Commanders CB Michael Davis Speaks Volumes About…
In Year 1 of this rebuild, the Washington Commanders are trying to shore up their leaky secondary that was the worst in the league a year ago. One of their many free agent signings was cornerback Michael Davis from the Los Angeles Chargers.
An undrafted free agent out of BYU, Davis has spent the last seven years with the Chargers. He was recently asked about coming to Washington and what swayed his decision. He mentioned it was the defensive staff, specifically coach Dan Quinn and coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.

“I know that I have an extra level to reach, and I thought that with them being teamed up with them, I could reach that level,” Davis said. “So, every day I practice, they are like Michael, like we want you to go press, like you got to consistently go out and perfect your craft, keep pressing.”
“No matter the situation… in my head, it might feel like I don’t wanna go press, but in the back of my mind, it’s like if I go up and press and challenge myself, it’ll make me better”
Quinn has been known to mold some amazing cornerbacks in the recent past including both Dallas Cowboys All-Pros Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland. Davis was allowed to test free agency when the Chargers turned over their staff and new coach Jim Harbaugh took over.
Davis says that he just continues to work hard every day trying to get better, because that’s the only thing he has control over.
“All I can do is control what I can control,” Davis said. “I mean, all I can do is focus on myself and let everything else play out.”
It’s all about perspective.
