Wendell Tyrone Davis (born January 3, 1966 in Shreveport, Louisiana) is a former professional American football wide receiver who played for the Chicago Bears for six seasons from 1988 to 1993. He was selected by the Bears in the 1st round (27th overall) in the 1988 NFL Draft.

In his pro career, Davis played in 81 games, catching 207 receptions for 3,000 yards and 14 touchdowns. He is infamous for injuring both of his patella tendons simultaneously while simply running a pass route on the notoriously bad Astroturf at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. The injury was effectively career-ending.

Davis currently owns and operates a franchise of a barber shops called "Big League Barbers" located in Riverwoods, Illinois. Currently he is a defensive coach for Maize High School in Maize, Kansas, which is located near Wichita. After his career ending injury he had a daughter named Sydney and a son named Malcolm Davis who both currently go to West Oak Middle School in Mundelein, IL.
