Former University of Georgia wide receiver Reggie Davis caught a 44-yard pass from Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Simms on Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In the second quarter, Simms dropped back from the Falcons’ 25-yard line on second-down and threw the ball deep to Davis who gained about 10 yards after the catch. Davis was tackled by Steelers’ cornerback Ross Cockrell at the Steelers 30-yard line.

Davis led the Falcons in receiving for the second-straight exhibition game with 74 yards on three receptions.
