Thomas Davis spent his childhood in his hometown, Shellman, and went to Randolph-Clay High School in Cuthbert. There he was very active in several sports, including basketball, baseball, track and field, and football. As he distinguished himself as a football player in the school team, Davis earned as a senior Class AA All-State honorable mention by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Georgia Sports Writers Association (GSWA), finishing his high school career with 1,032 rushing yards, and 108 points. In track and field he was very successful too, qualifying for the GHSAAA State T&F Championships for the 100-meter dash, finishing in 6th place. However, he accepted a scholarship to become a student at the University of Georgia, where he focused on playing football for the Georgia Bulldogs under the coach Mark Richt. In his sophomore year, Davis received second-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) honors, as well as a first-team All-SEC selection. He finished his college career with the record of 272 tackles. He graduated with a major in Consumer Economics.
Hence, Davis’ professional career began in 2005, when he was selected in the first round as the 14th overall pick by the Carolina Panthers in the NFL Draft, so he signed a rookie contract with the team and his net worth was established.
In his rookie season, he was moved from the position of safety to the position of linebacker, and he finished his debut season playing in all 16 games and having 1.5 sacks and 38 tackles. His second season increased his numbers, having 1.5 sacks and 88 tackles. One of his best seasons was the 2008 season, when he appeared in all 16 games, setting the record of 3.5 sacks, 113 tackles, and forcing two fumbles, which added a considerable amount to his net worth.
However, in the following year Davis suffered an injured right knee, so he was unable to play until 2011, when he returned to the field. In 2013, he won the NFC Defensive Player of the Week during week 6, as well as being named the NFC Defensive Player of the Month in November. The 2014 year was one of the greatest, as he was named as the best 4-3 outside linebacker by Pro Football Focus. Thus, he was named the 2014 Walter Payton Man of the Year by the NFL, which also helped to considerably increase his net worth.
In June of 2015 Davis’ contract with the Panthers was extended for two years, and he continued to line up success after success, setting a new record of one forced fumble, one interception, and 25 tackles in the first three games. Thanks to his accomplishments in football, Davis was named to the 2016 Pro Bowl, as he finished the season with 5.5 sacks, 4 interceptions, and 105 tackles in total, increasing his net worth by a large margin.
Regarding his personal life, Thomas Davis has been married to Kelly Davis since 2008; the couple has four children together.
