Ex-AFL stars Davis and Furrey excelling in NFL

Football coaches have an affinity for players who can contribute in more than one facet of the game. The more you can do, the better. And when it comes to versatility, former Arena Football League stars Rashied Davis and Mike Furrey certainly know the meaning of the word. Davis, currently a receiver with the Chicago Bears and Furrey, a wide out with the Detroit Lions, are both living a dream this season after taking the long, winding road to the NFL. Their backgrounds are different but somehow eerily similar. Both started their football careers at one school then transferred to another. Both found their way into the AFL and became stars, and both were able to crack the NFL as special team players. Both have been wide receivers - then defensive backs - then receivers again. And both are quietly becoming indispensable contributors to their respective teams. Full Story Congrats Davis and Furrey, always good to hear these success stories!
