Davenport has had similar luck to TQS as far as staying dinged up. Neither have missed tons of time, but just enough each year that it is a pattern that you come to expect. I don't really have anything too negative to say about Davenport's play. He's a freak of an athlete who's presence is always noticeable. He's consistent. I don't think he's really unlocked his potential yet, though, which is kind of crazy. I feel when the light bulb completely comes on for him, it's going to be fun to watch.
People have been a little hard on him because of the three draft picks it took to draft him, which is sort of understandable, but that was more on the Saints' desperation to fill a need than it was Davenport. We knew he was raw and would take time to develop. I wish him a great year. I think this could certainly be the year that he silences any lingering doubt. It does start with staying healthy, and that goes for everyone, but it's a testament to Davenport that he is so missed when he has been out. So, I do hope for his sake and ours that he can stay healthy this season.
