An Oklahoma-to-Miami transfer cornerback whose seventh-round landing spot matched Arizona's famous Pat Tillman draft slot.
Jaden Davis spent four seasons at Oklahoma before a productive final year at Miami raised his draft stock. Arizona took him in the seventh round in 2024, and he has spent his first two pro seasons working through the practice squad as a depth cornerback.
Path to the league
Davis played four seasons at Oklahoma from 2019 to 2022 before transferring to Miami for his redshirt senior year in 2023. The Arizona Cardinals drafted him in the seventh round, 226th overall, in the 2024 NFL Draft, the same slot the franchise used to select safety Pat Tillman in 1998.
Career highlights
In his lone season at Miami, Davis started 12 of 13 games and totaled 42 tackles, three tackles for loss, four passes defensed, a sack and two forced fumbles. Across his full college career at Oklahoma and Miami, he played 60 games with 34 starts, finishing with 145 tackles, one interception and 14 passes defensed.
2025 season recap
Davis signed a futures contract with Arizona in January 2025 and spent most of the season on the practice squad. He saw action in three games for the Cardinals during the 2025 season, recording two tackles, as he continues working toward a larger role in the secondary.
