Wendell Tyrone Davis (born January 3, 1966 in Shreveport, Louisiana) is a former professional American football wide receiver who played for the Chicago Bears for six seasons from 1988 to 1993. He was selected by the Bears in the 1st round (27th overall) in the 1988 NFL Draft.[1] Davis was a two time All-American at Louisiana State University.
In his pro career, Davis played in 81 games, catching 207 receptions for 3,000 yards and 14 touchdowns. He is infamous for injuring both of his patellar tendons simultaneously while running a pass route on the Astroturf at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia.
