NFL Career
Davey was selected by the New England Patriots coming off a record-setting career at LSU, taken as the 117th pick of the 2002 NFL Draft (Davey was the 6th quarterback taken in the 2002 NFL Draft, behind David Carr of Fresno State, Joey Harrington of Oregon, Patrick Ramsey of Tulane, Josh McCown of Sam Houston, and David Garrard of East Carolina).
While still with the Patriots, Davey showed potential in 2004 playing in NFL Europe. He had a record-setting season, was named "Player of the Year", and won the World Bowl with the Berlin Thunder. Upon returning to the Patriots, he lost his back-up job to Doug Flutie and could not play well enough to even remain in the third-string slot, losing that job to 7th-round pick Matt Cassel. He was subsequently released by the Patriots on August 29, 2005.
On September 28, 2005, Davey signed on with the Arizona Cardinals as the quarterback behind Kurt Warner, and John Navarre. On August 28, 2006, he was released.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
