Davenport was cut by the Green Bay Packers on September 2, 2006, following a four-year affiliation with the Packers. Eight days later, he was picked by the Steelers, following the 2006 season opener. With the Steelers, Davenport quickly earned the nickname "The Dump Truck", building on the legacy of former Steeler Jerome Bettis, who was known as "The Bus". The nickname is both a play on the backs' powerful running style and a comical reference to an incident where Davenport defecated in a Barry University female student's closet.

Green Bay Packers

2002

Since entering the NFL, Davenport has struggled with fumbles when playing and with injuries that have kept him off the playing field. Davenport's abilities exceed a fourth round selection, but to the accord of many scout's predictions, Davenport has been plagued by injuries throughout his career. In his rookie campaign, Davenport rushed for a respectable 4.7 yards per carry average before fracturing his left eye socket.


2003 and 2004 seasons

In 2003, injuries were minimal and he rushed for 5.45 yards per carry, good for the second highest in the NFL, and 30.1 yards per kick return. However, in 2004, Davenport started the season with a lingering hamstring injury that kept him out of for a month. On November 29, 2004, Davenport, in his first NFL start, rushed for 178 yards, third highest debut start yardage in the NFL for the past 20 years. Later that year, Davenport broke his ribs, resulting in playing at far less than 100 percent.


2005 season

In 2005, after Green went down with a quadriceps injury, Davenport took over as starter. In what would be his only start of the season, versus the New Orleans Saints, Davenport scored two first-half touchdowns before breaking his ankle. He was subsequently placed on injured reserve, effectively ending his season.
