Biography

CAMERON DAVIS joins the Jets as the team's assistant defensive line coach after serving in the same role for three seasons with the Detroit Lions (2022-2024) and nearly a decade at the collegiate level (2013- 21).

Most recently, Davis spent the last three seasons with the Detroit Lions, where he overlapped with Head Coach Aaron Glenn. During Davis' tenure in Detroit, the Lions won 36 games, the fourth most in the NFL, and won two NFC North division titles, marking the first time in franchise history the team won back-to-back division titles.

From 2022-24, Davis helped a defensive line unit that registered the second-most QB hits (319), third-most QB pressures (678), and allowed the fifth-lowest rushing yards per game (88.8) in the NFL. In his first season in Detroit (2022), Davis helped defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson earn Pepsi Rookie of the Year honors, after leading all rookies with 9.5 sacks and becoming the first rookie since 1982 to register 9.0+ sacks and three interceptions.

Before his tenure with the Lions, Davis served as the defensive line coach at Lamar University (2020-21). He also worked as a graduate assistant at the University of Kentucky (2019), where he helped two players rank atop the SEC in sacks and tackles for loss. Additionally, Davis held graduate assistant positions at Rice University (2017-18) and Texas A&M (2016).

Davis began his coaching career at Diablo Valley College (2013-14) as an assistant defensive line coach. He also gained experience as a defensive intern for the Arizona Cardinals (2014) and as a public relations intern with the Oakland Raiders (2012-13).

A California native, Davis holds a bachelor's degree in sociology from Cal State East Bay (2014) and a master's degree in leadership and management from the University of La Verne (2016).

He is married to his wife, BriAnna.
