Jordan Davis is in the ‘best shape of his life.’ His secret? Falling in love with the Peloton - Inquirer
Davis, who turned 25 the day the Eagles beat the Green Bay Packers to kick off their playoff run, had an explanation when asked about it later Tuesday after the Eagles finished another day of organized team activities. He’s a little late to the party, but Davis “fell in love with Peloton.” (His favorite instructor is Ally Love.)

I’m sure many of you will roll your eyes because we hear stuff like this so much, but that’s where Fangio is different. He doesn’t throw around platitudes like that carelessly. Fangio talked about how Davis played better down the stretch last year. He said Davis started practicing better and that carried over to games. You could say the light went on for Davis. This could be great news for Fangio and the defense. Davis has a high ceiling. He’s not come close to reaching it so far and that has left some people doubting if he ever will.
