Despite a lot of workouts and drills during the winter and spring, Browns running back James Davis burst onto the scene with an 81-yard touchdown run against the Lions in the second game of the preseason. He finished the preseason third in the AFC and seventh in the NFL with 186 rushing yards on 24 carries. "Personally, I thought it was kind of tough having to go through all the offseason workouts and then just going through the NFL Combine," said Davis. "All that stuff kind of played out going into Training Camp. I was really tired going into Training Camp, but I was able to overcome a lot of obstacles as far as being tired every day. I just had to push myself whenever I did get the reps to get there and get my opportunity to play. It felt good. I got a chance to get myself out there; people know who I am now. On that run, I saw nothing but daylight. I was kind of thinking if I was going to get caught by a DB or something like that, so I kind of held my head down and ran it." After appearing in two games and being inactive for a third, Davis was placed on injured reserve on October 3rd. "The rehab process went really (well)," Davis said. "Right now, I made this my hardest offseason that I ever had because I'm making a comeback. I'm trying to get as strong as possible, stronger than I've ever been before. I know it's going to take a lot of work this offseason to get there and that's what I'm doing right now, working as hard as I can. Right now, I'm 100 percent, but I'm only getting stronger. I'm going to come in and work like I did as a rookie. All those opportunities I get to get in there, I'm going to play like I'm a rookie. I'm out there trying to get a job, so that's what I'm looking forward to." Source: ClevelandBrowns.com
