This article describes more then just his football attributes. The article states "Friends found his personal qualities—his innate kindness and modesty—far more impressive than his sporting feats or fame." “He was obviously a marvelous athlete, but he was an even better person,” said Jack Moore, Davis’s co-captain on their high school basketball team. Ernie remained a humble person even when the Cleveland Browns made him the nation’s number-one draft pick, planning to pair him with Brown in the backfield. They would comprise football’s greatest running attack. Although Ernie started to feel ill during the summer Eventually, doctors gave the grim diagnosis: leukemia. Davis remained upbeat, exercising and even practicing with the Browns, although he never got into a game. He had long aspired to play professional football, but that dream went unfulfilled. I really think by reading this article I found out more about him as a person rather then him as an athlete.
