Davis said he was most upset about a pair of stolen cleats that he had made for his late father. Davis’ father, Michael Davis, died of cancer in 2019.
“The devil works hard but I ain’t gone let it ruin me. Some youngins broke into my crib and stole my jewelry. But the most important thing they stole was my cleats with my dad name and cancer cause on it. Now that hurts,” Davis tweeted.

Channel 2 received a copy of the Cobb County incident report from the night of the burglary at Davis’ Marietta home.
According to the report, Davis was out to dinner on May 4 when he received a security alert about a break-in at his home. The security system camera showed two armed men wearing gray hoodies and masks on his back patio.
Davis gave police a list of items missing, including $100,000 worth of jewelry: a No. 28 diamond necklace valued at $25,000, another diamond necklace initialed “MD,” valued at $25,000, two Cartier bracelets worth $30,000, four tennis chains worth $40,000 and a $1,500 Gucci handbag.

Davis grew up in DeKalb County. Davis graduated from Stephenson High School, where he played football and ran track, and he returned to Atlanta after signing a 2-year deal with the Falcons in 2021. He started The Mike Davis Foundation of Hope, which hosts free youth football camps, and was the Falcons’ nominee for the Walter Payton Award last year.
The Falcons released Davis on May 2 after only one season with the team. The running back signed with the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday.
