Ronald Rozelle Davis (born February 24, 1972) is an American former professional football player who was a cornerback for the Atlanta Falcons and the Green Bay Packers. Coming off a college football career with the Tennessee Volunteers,[1] Davis possessed excellent 4.45 speed, coverage skills and size for his position. He was selected by the Falcons in the second round of the 1995 NFL draft.[2] He started in five games for the Falcons, although he struggled making the transition to the NFL.[3] After failing multiple NFL and Tennessee drug tests, he was released from the Falcons. Davis was later picked up by the Packers, who overlooked his substance abuse problems for his pure talent. Still, Davis was unable to find success and was not resigned once his rookie contract expired.[4] He attempted a comeback with the CFL's BC Lions in 1999, but lasted three games.[5]
