10. Sean Davis, safety, Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers did well to pick Davis in the second round with the goal of sprucing up their secondary. Davis ranked ninth in the Big Ten in 2015, recording 75 interception return yards.
During his rookie year, Davis played in all 16 games and received eight starts. He lined up at both corner and safety, recording one interception, one fumble recovery, 1.5 sacks and 69 combined tackles. Davis also defended five passes. He finished 2016 as the 67th rated safety, per Pro Football Focus.
In the postseason, Davis started each of the three Steelers’ playoff games. During that time, he had one sack (on none other than Brady) and recorded 16 combined tackles.
There should be plenty of room Davis to boost his numbers moving forward in an expanded role.
