Najeh Davenport was first drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the 2002
draft out of Miami, where he graduated with a degree in theatre. The
big, bruising back had 830 yards and 13 touchdowns as a fullback for
Miami. After being drafted by the Packers, they decided to convert him
to halfback. After fellow halfback Ahman Green went down with a knee
injury, Davenport showed just why the Packers made their decision, when
Davenport avereged 4.9 yards-per-carry. Davenport's good season changed
when he was poked in the eye while returning a kick-off, and it
required surgery on his eye-socket. His surgery landed him on the
Injured Reserve list, which made him ineligible to return for the rest
of the season. He recovered from his surgery, and during that
off-season put his theatrical degree to use, acting as the Night Club
Owner is "Full Clip" starring Busta Rhymes and Xzibit. It was announced
by Head Coach Mike Sherman that during the 2003 season, Najeh would
play a more integral part in the Packer offense, to allow Ahman Green
to fully heal from his injury from the prior season.
