Jaguars' Jordan Davis Sets New Locker Room Protocol
15 Nov
Summary
- Jordan Davis introduced a media policy prioritizing female reporters.
- He requires reporters to let ladies speak first if questions overlap.
- This courtesy mirrors rules set by former teammates and coaches.
Upon arriving in Jacksonville, defensive tackle Jordan Davis established a unique protocol for interacting with the media. Davis, acquired by the Jaguars on November 9th for draft picks, introduced a policy stating that female reporters are always given the right of way when multiple questions are being asked concurrently. This approach to managing media interactions highlights a personal commitment to courtesy and respect within professional communication.
Davis's practice is not entirely unprecedented in the NFL. His former Eagles teammate, Jordan Mailata, enforced a similar 'ladies first' rule in the Philadelphia locker room. Additionally, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel has integrated this courtesy into his press conferences, a habit he began in Tennessee inspired by a persistent female reporter. These instances suggest a broader consideration for professional women within the male-dominated sports environment, with Davis now bringing this standard to Jacksonville.
