| abstract | - Antone Eugene Davis (born February 28, 1967) is a former American football offensive tackle and guard. He played one year of football at Peach County High School in Fort Valley, Georgia, and was recruited out of high school by the Tennessee Military Institute, for whom he played one year of college football. He earned a full scholarship to the University of Tennessee the following year and started at left guard during his sophomore year in 1988. He was moved to right offensive tackle before his junior year as a Tennessee Volunteer and earned unanimous All-America honors as a senior in 1990. He finished as a finalist for the 1990 Outland Trophy as well, and was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League as the eighth overall selection in the 1991 NFL Draft. Davis played for five seasons with the Eagles, who traded two first-round draft picks to pick Davis. In his rookie season in 1991, he started in fifteen games, missing one start in week seven due to his benching. He started in fifteen games again in 1992, missing one game due to a knee sprain. Davis started in every game for the Eagles in 1993 at right tackle, but was moved inside to left guard in 1994 following the team's pick of tackle Bernard Williams in the 1994 NFL Draft. Davis struggled at his new position and was benched again for the final two games of the season. He began the 1995 season as a backup, but injuries forced him to start in the final thirteen games of the season. Considered a draft bust in Philadelphia, Davis signed with the Atlanta Falcons in 1996 and spent two seasons with the team. After his retirement from football, he worked in the food industry as a restaurant owner and manager. He finished as the runner-up on the twelfth season of The Biggest Loser.
