Why Detroit Lions Carlton Davis fits 'perfect' in NFL defense of Aaron Glenn.
is a veteran cornerback who caught the attention of Detroit's coaching staff last season, as the Buccaneers faced the Lions in the regular season and in the playoffs.“Man, just him as a person. He’s so energetic," said Davis. "I’ve never had a DC like him who’s just so into it. You really feel he’s in the play with you. He’s on the field, coaching up. Anything goes wrong, he’s attacking it. He’s not passive at all and I love that.
“That’s what I love. That’s his identity and that’s my identity since I came into the league. I’m a man-to-man corner," said Davis. "I like to go up there, press you, lock you down. And he loves that too, so we can be the best of friends, honestly.”since the cornerback entered the league. First, Davis and Glenn were rivals in the NFC South while they were with the Buccaneers and Saints, respectively. Now, they're working together to make Detroit's defense the best it can be.
"I’ve been knowing about this player since he came out of Auburn. He’s been a player that wants to get in somebody’s face and challenge," Glenn said. "There’s nothing changed about that.

But listen, I’m not sitting here saying we’re gonna blitz every time, it’s just a part of what we do. It’s a part of our personality. And also, it’s a part of the guys that we have.
“Just more aggressive and it’s a challenge mentality. In this league, man, you just don’t want to sit back and allow a quarterback to just dink and dunk. There are times where you can do that, and there are other times, you’ve got to get up there and cause havoc and put pressure on the offense.”"It's good. It's only been three days. I've been going up against him every single time, it's been good work.
