Nate Davis has worked for USA TODAY Sports since 2000, most of it spent covering the NFL (Super Bowl XL in Detroit was his first). As the league moves to a more positionless vibe, so has Nate – whether he's the QB2 columnist to Jarrett Bell, providing instant analysis on the league or focusing on football fashion ... while maybe sprinkling in a pop culture reference or three. Nate graduated from college after Mike Tomlin but before Sean McDermott. They played on the football team, but Nate wrote about it and them – even then, because not even William & Mary would give a 200-pound high school left tackle a second look.
