The Miami Dolphins, especially Brian Flores, loves Raekwon Davis.

Seeing him on the field will not be a matter of simply rotating players around. Davis has a good shot of seeing significant time as the Dolphins play different looks throughout the game.

Davis has a high motor and moves quick for a guy his size. He can get pressure up the middle and close gaps but he can also recognize the run and move to fill the running lanes and stop the run at the line. I would not be surprising to see Davis make behind the line of scrimmage tackles either.

Davis is also going to benefit from playing next to Christian Wilkins and Davon Godchaux who have the experience and leadership to show the youngster the ropes. The only thing lacking Davis right now is experience and he will get his feet wet on Sunday. When he is in the game, watch closely to see what Flores has been gushing about.

In addition, Davis should show some signs of what he will bring to the team in the future for the franchise.
