Davis is the third straight offensive player the Jets have chosen on Saturday and fifth consecutive offensive player they have drafted overall.

Davis was a three-year starter in college and led FCS in rushing in 2023 with 1,578 yards and 18 touchdowns.

The Jackrabbits went 29-1 and won back-to-back national championships with Davis playing a key role.

The Davis pick comes after the Jets selected Wisconsin running back Braelon Allen in the fourth round on Saturday.

Those two join Breece Hall and Israel Abanikanda in the running back room for the Jets.
