Jordan Davis reveals he lost 26 pounds this offseason

During the past couple of offseasons, the question of when Jordan Davis was going to break out has constantly popped up. Davis was a first-round selection in 2022, known for his elite run-stopping ability. He's done that well with the Eagles, but his lack of threat as a pass rusher has led him to playing less than 50% of the snaps during his first three seasons. 

However, it looks like Davis' breakout might finally happen in 2025. 

The defensive tackle told reporters Thursday that he lost 26 pounds this offseason and weighs 330 pounds.

In a video posted by 94WIP's Devan Kaney, Davis smiled ear to ear as he walked to the podium. He jokingly asked the media if he should take his shirt of so he could see his progress. 

"Just put in the work, put in the work and being consistent at it, like I said like a continuation from the wintertime, understanding that my role is bigger and what's expected of me is greater," Davis said about his weight loss. "Obviously, you have to change and adapt. And I'm just glad that I'm at this place right now and I can hit the ground running."

After Milton Williams left in free agency, there will be snaps available next to Jalen Carter. Williams thrived because of the double-teams Carter garners. He had a career-high five sacks and got a huge payday from the New England Patriots. 

Vic Fangio revealed that Williams' snaps will likely be divided among Davis, Moro Ojomo and Ty Robinson as a committee.

If Davis makes improvements as a pass rusher, he can cement himself as the Eagles' second defensive tackle. Though during his career, he's struggled to rush the passer — he has only has 3.5 sacks in 47 career NFL games, and had just seven in four years at Georgia. 

But Davis is ready to do whatever's needed of him. He "doesn't want to be a player that comes off the field on every second-and-long and third downs. Davis understands being a "one-trick pony" is fine, but he wants to do more. 

"It's just allowing my body to become more fluid," Davis said. "Allowing myself to move a little faster. My get-off's a little faster. Staying low, being in the position where your back doesn't hurt too much because of that extra weight. I just feel a lot more in tune with my body. I can't give all my secrets away, but it's just little stuff like that. I definitely feel more comfortable at this weight than I did in the past with pass rushing."

Davis did admit it is "a little crazy" the outside attention his weight gets, but is happy that the public is noticing his progress. It's the first time he's weighed this little since his sophomore year at Georgia.  

Davis turned 25 in January, and he said when that happened everything clicked. He said he realized he needed to make some changes and that getting into the best shape of his life would help him provide for the Eagles and be the best player he can be.

"Rome wasn't built in a day," Davis said. "This has been a long time coming. Not even just for football, but just for life. I wanted to make these changes because it's absolutely necessary."
