After getting our hopes up that perhaps the NFL dream for former Ball Stater Nate Davis may materialize in Seattle, the Seahawks dashed those hopes this week by releasing Davis. After signing a futures contract with the team after being released by the San Francisco 49ers last season, Davis now finds himself watching the labor dispute play out without a team to call home. The crummy thing about all of it is quite poor timing for Davis, as this collective bargaining agreement situation impacts teams’ willingness to sign anyone, but most especially a mid-round draft pick with a lack of experience and a significant questions surrounding their feasibility in the NFL. Best of luck to Nate catching on somewhere, but I’m not holding out a tremendous amount of hope. Looks like Brad Maynard and Reggie Hodges have the title of “Most Recognizable Current Ball State Alum in the NFL” pretty sewn up.
