Sam Darnold had a great day of practice. He was able to find success and move the ball downfield consistently despite the receivers he had to work with. Except for on this one play. Darnold looked to find Jehu Chesson on a post route, but Chesson instead broke to the outside. Which left Ashtyn Davis there to cleanly snatch the pick and run it back the other way.
With Marcus Maye getting the day off, Davis got a lot more run with the ones and he looked like belonged there. On the pick, Davis had perfect coverage and as Chesson broke to the outside Davis had already realized the throw was going over the middle. Davis didn’t hesitate, he made the correct read, attacked the ball and immediately took off the other way. That was the highlight, but the rest of the day was really solid as well. The speed and range this kid has is impressive. He’s had a really good camp, has really come on strong as of late and it’s easy to understand why Joe Douglas drafted him.
