Sean Davis (born October 23, 1993) is an American football safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Maryland.
Davis attended Maret School in Washington, D.C.. As a senior he recorded 87 tackles and three interceptions on defense and ran for 823 yards, seven rushing touchdowns, 601 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns on offense. He received offers from North Carolina, Boston College, and Connecticut but ultimately chose to attend the University of Maryland to play football.
Davis played at Maryland from 2012 to 2015. He played safety his first three years before moving to cornerback prior to his senior year. During his career he started 40 of 50 games, recording 319 tackles, five interceptions and 2.5 sacks.
After he performed well at the NFL combine, many NFL analysts projected Davis to be a second- or third-round selection in the 2016 NFL Draft. Multiple teams and scouts had Davis listed as a safety instead of cornerback because of his size, athleticism, and tendency to give up big plays in coverage. It was reported up to 19 NFL teams were interested in him and he had visits with New England Patriot's head coach Bill Belichick and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was invited to the NFL Combine and completed all the entire workouts and all the positional drills. Davis was satisfied enough with his combine numbers, that he chose to only participate in positional drills at Maryland's Pro Day.
