By this point you know the New Orleans Saints traded up to draft Marcus Davenport Thursday night, so I’m just gonna cut to the chase here. This post is just a collection of his fun video clips from all around Twitter - some are educational, most are just entertaining. If that’s not your bag, check out our takeaway from Sean Payton’s comments on Davenport or try the links I gathered here on Davenport’s background and pro potential. Either way, hope you enjoy these cutups.

Marcus Davenport clearly is strong, high-effort player but his NFL success will depend on if he fixes his pad level. It makes it hard for him to get off blocks/bend around the corner.

Could be real good if he figures out how to sink at 6’7”. The potential is there pic.twitter.com/CZ3so4WU01

#UTSA DE Marcus Davenport's motor and athleticism is insane on this play. Was lined up as an off-ball LB on this play and blitzed up the middle. pic.twitter.com/qfm1gt4MBt

DE Marcus Davenport (UTSA). Good transition from speed to power, gets under LT and understands how to use his long arms.. He’s fun as hell to watch. pic.twitter.com/s3P9DKjytM

Marcus Davenport can do more than get sacks. Textbook backside DE play on reverse. 17.5 TFL in 2017!

EDGE Marcus Davenport (UTSA, 6’6”, 250lbs). Only 1 game in, but speed-to-power is evident. Has a strong, lengthy punch to disengage vs run & pass. Will be looking for more bend & counter moves. pic.twitter.com/d4rku6uIia

One of the top pass rushers in the country DE Marcus Davenport wins with his length and hands. It'll be interesting to see him matched up against better competition in Mobile.
