1974 Rookie Profile: Clifton Davis

Running Back
13th Round (1973)
Alcorn A & M
"Davis showed considerable potential in a short-lived trial last year. Drafted in the 13th round, he impressed in the preseason camp and in the first preseason game against the San Diego Chargers when he rushed twice for 12 yards and caught five passes for 42 more yards. The following week, he went down with a thigh injury which necessitated an operation and he was finished for the rest of the year. Now fully recovered, he should rate a long look.
Alcorn's leading career rusher with 1,698 yards, Clifton twice was named to the All-Southwestern Athletic Conference team and was on the Dean's List three times, majoring in biology.
Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Clifton grew up in Bessemer, Alabama where he starred at Carver High School."
