New Lions assistant coach Cameron Davis earns some high praise

The news got buried a little in the fervor over the NFL scouting combine, but the Detroit Lions addition of new assistant defensive line coach Cameron Davis did not go unnoticed. The Lions hired Davis over the weekend to join the staff.

One of Davis’ prior coaching stops was with the Raiders organization when the team was still based in Oakland. The CEO of the Raiders at the time, Amy Trask, went on Twitter and let the praise flow on the former team coaching intern.

Trask noted that Davis, “impressed me tremendously” and she is “thrilled the Lions hired him” and “Lions fans should be thrilled as well”.

The stint with the Raiders, back in 2012-2013, was Davis’ first post-college job. He’s since moved on to coaching at several college programs, most recently the DL coach at Lamar in Texas.
