  Colts Re-sign Davin Meggett     Sun Jul 27, 08:59 AM

The Indianapolis Colts re-signed RB Davin Meggett (Redskins) Sunday, July 27. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Meggett is the son of former Giants RB David Meggett. He's got good straight-line speed, and he's a more powerful runner than his dad was. Meggett is rigid when running the football, and he's not as elusive as he needs to be in order to make an impact in the NFL. He's a camp body who will have to fight hard to make the final roster.

  Redskins | Three cut    Tue Mar 4, 04:13 PM

The Washington Redskins released TE Richard Quinn and RBs Jawan Jamison and Davin Meggett Tuesday, March 4.

Footballguys view: Jamison showed up out of shape last year, and he was only valuable as a good fit for the Shanahan running game.

  Redskins | Seven signed to futures deals    Tue Dec 31, 07:26 PM

The Washington Redskins signed P Robert Malone, RB Davin Meggett, TE Gabe Miller, DB Ryan Mouton, TE Richard Quinn, OL Tevita Stevens and CB Peyton Thompson to futures contracts Tuesday, Dec. 31.

Footballguys view: We like the upside of Meggett in super deep dynasty leagues. The son of former Giants RB Dave Meggett, the rookie from Maryland is bigger than his dad and gets to top speed in a hurry. Meggett is rigid as a runner, but can rack up big yards when he gets to the open field.

  Colts | Donald Brown lands on IR    Tue Dec 11, 04:48 PM

The Indianapolis Colts placed RB Donald Brown (ankle) and FB Robert Hughes (knee) on the Injured Reserve Tuesday, Dec. 11, and re-signed RBs Deji Karim and Mewelde Moore to the active roster in corresponding moves. Also, the team signed free-agent RB Davin Meggett (Texans) to the practice squad and released RB Alvester Alexander from the practice squad. OG Justin Anderson (undisclosed) was placed on the practice squad injured list.

Footballguys view: Without Brown in the lineup we'll see the team continue to feature rookie Vick Ballard as the lead back. Two of the next three weeks the Colts face the tough Texans rush defense. That makes Ballard more of a low end RB2 or flex play in week 15 & 17. However, in week 16 (fantasy championship) the Colts face a weak Chiefs defense. Ballard could help you win your title if you can make it through this week.

  Texans | Make practice squad move    Tue Nov 27, 05:49 PM

The Houston Texans released RB Davin Meggett and signed LB Cameron Collins to the practice squad Thursday, Nov. 27.

Footballguys view: Meggett could find a home on another roster or practice squad as a developmental change of pace RB.

  Texans | Make practice squad move    Wed Sep 26, 02:17 PM

The Houston Texans re-signed Davin Meggett to the practice squad Wednesday, Sept. 26.

Footballguys view: Meggett takes the spot of RB Jonathan Grimes on the practice squad. Grimes was signed earlier this week by the Jets. Meggett was with the Texans during training camp and has a good size/speed combination. He's a one cut runner and decent receiver out of the backfield.

  Texans | Davin Meggett fails to make roster    Tue Aug 28, 01:14 AM

The Houston Texans cut RB Davin Meggett Monday, Aug. 27.

Footballguys view: Meggett, the son of former Giants star Dave Meggett, is fast just like his dad but is also bigger too. The zone blocking scheme in Houston was a perfect fit for him, but he's just too rigid as a runner and can't make cuts smoothly.

  Texans | Trio battling for No. 3 RB job    Thu Jul 19, 01:01 AM

Houston Texans RB Justin Forsett, an offseason addition in May, will compete with RBs Jonathan Grimes and Davin Meggett for the third running back job in training camp and the preseason. All three players have special teams ability, a prerequisite for the Texans this year for their No. 3 RB.

Footballguys view: We like Forsett to win this job. He's quick, has good vision, and a decent initial burst. Forsett is a nice fit for the Texans zone blocking scheme. Meggett is fast in a straight line, but runs too stiff and doesn't change direction smoothly.

  Texans | Several in running for kick returner duties    Wed May 16, 03:07 PM

  Texans | Sign 18 more UDFAs    Mon Apr 30, 12:17 AM

The Houston Texans reached contract agreements with undrafted free-agents DL Loni Fangupo, FB Jason Ford, RB Jonathan Grimes, DL David Hunter, WR Jerrell Jackson, LB Dalano Jackson, WR Dwight Jones, QB Case Keenum, WR Mario Louis, LB Shawn Loiseau, RB Davin Meggett, OT Nate Menkin, DL Rennie Moore, SS Eddie Pleasant, DL Tracy Robertson, TE Phillip Supernaw, OG Cody White and LB Greg Williams.

Footballguys view: A couple of players to highlight here. Meggett is perfect for the zone system and is a one-cut RB who gets to top speed in a hurry. Jones is a big WR who gets to top speed in a hurry. He's got soft hands and is dangerous after the catch.

  NFL | Davin Meggett will be lighter at the combine     Mon Feb 20, 09:52 AM

Maryland RB Davin Meggett said he will be a lot leaner heading into the NFL Scouting Combine. He will likely weigh in at no more than 213 pounds. 'I'm actually going to be a lot, lot lighter. During the East-West Shrine game, I was training for the combine and I was putting on massive muscle mass and I was just putting on weight, putting on weight. Now I've toned it down a lot I'm down to like 212 or 213, I look to be around that target weight,' Meggett said. 'The East-West Shrine weight that was just in the mist of me gaining weight so I could bring it down to the perfect place I am right now.'

Footballguys view: Our very own Cecil Lammey watched Meggett during the week of practice for the Shrine Game earlier this year and had some concerns about his bulk. Meggett is a straight line guy who needs to play with more agility. Perhaps by having less bulk he will be able to move better between the tackles.
