Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Difficult to bring down one-on-one in space, regularly sidesteps would-be tacklers and uses offhand to use oncoming defenders' momentum against them without slowing down significantly.
  • Possesses quick feet and straight-line speed but doesn't have the elite burst to be a constant big-play threat. Improving patience as a runner, following pulling guards and makes good decisions on his cut.
  • Davis has a prototypical running back build, well proportioned and thick through the lower body, and he’s at his best picking his way between the tackles with quick, choppy steps.
  • He consistently falls forward, and Davis will also bounce off of or shake loose from a couple of tackles to turn minimal gains into big runs.
  • Davis blends good size and speed, as well as the competitive demeanor of a playmaker.
  • Well-built with a thick frame and powerful lower body which keeps his legs pumping through contact. Patient behind the line of scrimmage, allowing blocks to create openings, and looks for cutback lanes with accurate vision. Hits the hole hard and runs with power to get the tough yards and a physical attitude.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Davis could stand to get smaller when squeezing through traffic.
  • Davis doesn’t always show great hands, and Davis takes too long to gather himself after making catches in the screen game.
  • He’s not going to threaten to take the top off of a defense.
