Davidson has had lower body injuries keeping him back, former 2nd rounder
Fumagalli - Italian: nickname meaning 'poultry thief' from fumare 'to smoke' (slang meaning: 'to steal') + galli 'roosters'.
Allen is a good camp pickup

Strengths
Davidson displayed plenty of versatility during his collegiate career, being used as a 3-tech defensive tackle, as well as the 5-tech as a defensive end and even as a stand-up outside linebacker. Make no mistake about it, Davidson's compact frame produced wherever he was placed. Davidson comes equipped with bear claws instead of human hands. Those hands are always active and come in handy when he has to chop or club away the hands of opposing blockers. Davidson's first step has more than enough quickness/burst, able to get upfield with little wasted motion.
His upper-body strength is impressive and able to consistently shed blocks while maintaining play awareness to track the ball carrier. If Davidson is unable to get to the QB when rushing, he has the mind frame to attack the quarterbacks arm and/or hands to dislodge the ball and force the turnover.
Davidson's motor is easy to locate on film as his effort is contagious, with teammates feeding off his energy and vice versa.At the point of attack, Davidson is very much able to hold his own and anchor and constantly causes issues for tight ends and running backs trying to slow down his stout frame.
Weaknesses
Even though Davidson was inserted on the edge and as a standup defender, he should not reside there much in Atlanta. The lack of desired length is also a reason why he may not see a ton of snaps on the edge as he did in college. There is not a ton of fluidity in Davidson's hips and is likely better suited to 3-tech duty in the Falcons scheme.
On the collegiate level, power blockers (especially on the interior) gave Davidson some issues on occasion. Davidson needs to prevent blockers from getting first contact into his frame. That aspect also shows up on tape as Davidson has to work a little harder to disengage. Scouts also question his lack of usage on run downs, which can also be something of note for the Falcons, especially on base downs.

Work that magic, Kocurek.

Kyle's ideal pass catcher so he can prove his genius whenever Fumagalli gets a catch

I remember liking Davidson the year he came out. We'll see if he can stay healthy and show something.

We were already at 90. Did we cut Jason Poe and 2 others already?
