Scouting Report: Strengths
- Fluid mover with decent speed and his length allows him to cover effectively downfield
- He’s a technician in press coverage, with a strong punch and the ability to reroute receivers.
- Davis has good size and is a fluid mover, capable of mirroring quickness underneath
- Davis tracks the ball well and does a nice job of getting his head around in plenty of time to avoid flags.
- Very good in run support, an aggressive tackler, and capable of breaking down and securing tackles in space.
- Attacks the ball with authority, with quick read-and-react ability. Willing and physical tackler, flashes toughness and aggressive nature vs. the run.
- Great on route recognition and has click-and-close ability
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Will slip off tackles and needs to finish more consistently.
- Like a lot of collegiate corners, Davis has a tendency to get grabby, something that will have to be coached out of him.
- Might not be the kind of pure shutdown corner that the top prospects in this draft have the skill set to become, but offers scheme versatility and the ability to slide inside and cover the slot.
