Florida football: Multiple Gators look to make an impact in Divisional Round

Malik Davis went undrafted this past offseason and was picked up by the Cowboys before his rookie season began. He was put into a very crowded running back room for a rookie, lining up behind Ezekiel Elliot and Tony Pollard.

Despite being third in line, Malik still had a pretty productive season. He got 38 carries for 161 yards, landing him at a solid 4.2 yards per carry.

He was also able to find the endzone late in a game against the Colts for his first career touchdown.

San Francisco has one of the best defensive fronts in the game. If Malik sees any action, it’ll be a baptism by fire for him as he makes his first career postseason appearance.

At Florida, we saw Davis get used a lot in the short passing game, running wheel routes and short patterns out into the flat.

If things slow down for Dallas, maybe we see him in a similar role tonight. Davis is quick in space and can make just about anybody miss in the open field.

As Malik continues to develop, he’ll turn into a scary weapon on offense.
