Scouting Report: Strengths
- Davis brings a nice blend of size, speed and power. His best attribute is his relentlessness; Davis consistently thrashes through tacklers to turn minimal gains into long ones.
- He was asked to pick up blitzes often and has the strength to anchor and stand up blitzers.
- Underrated blocker. Cognizant pass defender who is willing to meet a linebacker in the gap.
- Davis aggressively finishes runs and consistently falls forward in a crowd. His low pad level and a bit of wiggle keep him from absorbing big hits.
- Has good vision to find the hole and get North-South. Gets good initial push and always seems to be falling forward for a positive gain. A hard runner with a workhorse-type back mentality.
- Shows a surprising burst to beat linebackers to the edge. Can plant his foot in the ground and explode, showing better straight-line speed than expected.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- His playing speed is less than elite. Davis won’t run past defenders like Davis did at the college level.
- He isn’t particularly elusive. He runs a bit upright when picking through traffic, presenting a big target for tacklers.
- Davis could stand to get smaller when squeezing through traffic.
