An undrafted free agent in 2012, Davis spent most of 2013 with the Rams after he was signed due to an injury to Sam Bradford. With Bradford going down again in 2014, the Rams turned to Hill to take over quarterback duties, but that lasted just a half in Week 1.
After Hill completed 8-of-13 passes for just 81 yards with an interception, Davis took over and completed 16-of-23 passes for 192, although he too threw an interception and was unable to record a touchdown. It was the only regular experience of Davis’ career and Sunday will be his first career start.
In four years at Southern Mississippi, Davis accounted for 10,898 yards passing and 83 touchdowns, as well as 1,375 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns.
He'll face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, one week after the team allowed Panthers quarterback Derek Anderson to complete 24-of-34 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns.
