With offseason programs now behind us, we will be getting a jump start on our training camp preview by going player-by-player through the Indianapolis Colts’ 91-man roster.
Going alphabetically, up next is defensive tackle Devonta Davis.
Devonta Davis’ profile
2024 Snap count totals
2024 PFF grades
2024 Season Review
Davis signed with the Colts after the 2025 NFL draft as an undrafted rookie. After playing his first four college seasons at Jackson State, Davis played his final year at Florida Atlantic.
During this most recent season, Davis totaled 13 pressures and one sack. His pass rush production during his career won’t leap off the stat sheet with the 20 pressures that Davis totaled in 2022 being a career high.
However, his greatest impact came as a run defender, where he routinely graded out well by PFF’s metrics. Out of 200-plus defensive tackles, Davis ranked 53rd in run defense grade and 92nd in run-stop rate.
Looking ahead to the 2025 season
When it comes to the depth behind DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart, there are some unknowns for the Colts. For one, they need improved play behind those two, but how that playing time shakes out or who makes the final roster still remains to be seen.
With that said, with Neville Gallimore, Tim Smith, Eric Johnson, and Adetomiwa Adebawore all competing for that playing time and roster spots, that’s a lot of players that Davis has to jump on the depth chart.
Perhaps with the question marks around the depth at this position, Davis has a clearer path to make a roster push than other UDFAs, but my guess at this time is that his ceiling this season is likely the practice squad.
