Davis Sanchez (born August 7, 1974) is a Canadian former professional football player[1] who played cornerback in both the Canadian Football League (CFL) and National Football League (NFL). He is the co-founder of the TSN Edge and is an NFL and CFL game analyst at TSN.
Sanchez was the first Canadian-born player to start at cornerback in the NFL. In 2001, during his rookie season, Sanchez made starts versus the Raiders and Eagles. Sanchez played basketball and football in college and was eventually inducted into the Butte College Football Hall of Fame. He is now a broadcaster at TSN and has had NFL and CFL broadcasts on there since 2018.[2]
Sanchez attended North Delta Secondary School where he played basketball, but not football. He played one year of college basketball and then turned his attention completely to football. As a member of the Butte College sports hall of fame, he was a 1st team All-American and California JC Defensive Player of the year before signing with the Oregon Ducks. After his Oregon career was cut short after a broken leg, he entered the CFL Draft and was selected in the 1st round.
