Keith Davis height - How tall is Keith Davis?

On December 7, 2018, Davis graduated from Sam Houston State with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology degree.

In 2013, he was named to the Southland Conference 2000s All-Decade Team. In 2014, he was inducted into the Sam Houston State Athletic Hall of Honor.

After being out of football for one year, he signed as a free agent with the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League for the 2010 season. In 2011 he played for the Virginia Destroyers which was the team that replaced the Tuskers.

The Oakland Raiders signed him as a free agent to add depth to the safety position, but would later waive him before the 2009 season started.

Just days after being released by the Dolphins, Davis was re-signed by the Dallas Cowboys on August 31, 2008. He was named team captain for the season despite being on the roster only a few days. He also led the team in special teams tackles with 20 and received the Ed Block Courage Award for playing with a torn pectoral muscle.

Davis became an unrestricted free agent after the 2007 season. He was third in Cowboys history with 97 special teams tackles.

In 2006, he was shot for the second time in just three years. This time he was randomly shot in the back of the head and in his right thigh, while driving to church at 5:30 a.m. on a Dallas freeway. He drove himself to the hospital and was later discharged.

In 2005 NFL season, Davis started 15 games at free safety and finished fourth on the team with 68 tackles. He also led the club in special teams tackles, with 16, and had a forced fumble. The New Orleans Saints signed him to a restricted free agent offer sheet after the season, but the Cowboys retained him by matching the offer.

Davis did not play football that season, but rejoined the club in 2004, after Parcells gave him a second chance, re-signing him to play in NFL Europe. Davis took advantage of the opportunity and was named All-league, while helping the Berlin Thunder to the World Bowl XII championship. During that season he recorded a team-high 21 tackles on special teams.

Before the start of the 2003 training camp, he was shot in the right hip and left elbow around 2:20 a.m. outside the Dallas Gentlemen's Club. Davis had driven to the club after closing time to pick up a friend. The friend was sitting at a table where an altercation broke out, and spilled outside to the parking lot, culminating with his shooting while defending her girlfriend. While he did nothing to provoke the incident, and was regarded as an unwitting victim, head coach Bill Parcells believed Davis should not have placed himself in a questionable situation and released him from the team.

Davis was signed by the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent for the 2002 season. He made the Cowboys' practice squad initially, and subsequently the active roster, playing eight games as a backup safety and on special teams. He was credited with five tackles from scrimmage, two quarterback pressures, one pass breakup and eight tackles on special teams.

Davis was a two-time All-State and All-District wide receiver and defensive back for UIL Class AA Italy High School. He was a starter on the varsity basketball team that won the 1997 Class AA State Championship. He also lettered in baseball.

Keith Lamont Davis (born December 30, 1978) is a former American football safety in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at Sam Houston State University.
