When Derius Davis fields a punt, there's a good chance that fireworks are about to ensue.
Davis returned a punt for a touchdown in his rookie season, the year he was named a second-team All-Pro.
Davis nearly matched that this past season in a game against the Patriots in Week 17, but an illegal block above the waist penalty nullified it.
While it wasn't ruled a touchdown, it still earned high recognition.
According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Davis' 93-yard punt return was deemed the longest play among all wide receivers (129.1). This topped Vikings WR Justin Jefferson's 97-yard touchdown reception.
By definition, "longest plays" show ball carriers that have traveled the farthest during a given play (measured in yards) regardless of yards gained. This stat highlights ball carriers that use the whole field.
Not only was Davis a reliable return specialist, he provided a spark on offense late in the season. He recorded touchdowns in back-to-back weeks, marking his first offensive score in his career.
