Arizona signs sixth-round pick Davis

TEMPE, Ariz. — The Arizona Cardinals have signed sixth-round draft pick Will Davis.

The 6-foot-2, 261-pound Davis was a defensive end in college at Illinois, who will be converted to outside linebacker. He played in all 12 games for the Illini last season, with 36 tackles with 3½ sacks, one forced fumble and a blocked kick.

He is the fourth Arizona draftee to sign. The others are fifth-round pick Herman Johnson, an offensive lineman from LSU, and two seventh-round selections, running back LaRod Stephens-Howling of Pittsburgh and offensive guard Trevor Canfield of Cincinnati.
