Josh McCown gets most of the attention as far as Bearkats in the professional ranks go, but Keith Davis has made a name for himself too in Dallas. Had a bit of a rocky time off the field, but on the field, he's been rather solid...

HOUSTON — Keith Davis made a name for himself as a fearless, smashmouth safety at Sam Houston State. He was known for his vicious hits and play-making abilities.
As a senior on the Bearkats’ 2001 Southland Conference championship squad, Davis received All-America honors after leading the team in tackles with 96. He also broke up seven passes and forced three fumbles with his bone-crushing hits.
That reputation and style of play led to Davis signing with the Dallas Cowboys as a rookie free agent in 2002. After a fair share of ups and downs, highs and lows, Davis has settled into a backup role behind Roy Williams and has been a big contributor to the Cowboys on defense and special teams over the past several seasons.
