Davis will be making his third career Pro Bowl appearance, with all of three of his trips coming in the last three seasons. He'll join right guard Trai Turner and kicker Graham Gano in Orlando.
A 13-year pro, Davis ranked second on the team with 88 tackles in 2017, according to coaches film review. He tallied 2.5 sacks with eight quarterback pressures and one fumble recovery.
