Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Davis has the speed to be effective in pursuit, and Davis shows enough fluid athleticism that he might be able to transition to outside linebacker and hold up in coverage.
  • His handwork is excellent. He is tough against the run, playing with a firm base when setting the edge and showing the upper-body strength to stack and shed blockers.
  • He’s quick to react and locate the ball, and he shows enough speed to succeed in backside pursuit. He plays with excellent balance and a strong, flexible core, rarely ending up on the ground.
  • Flashes nimble feet to chase running backs and mobile quarterbacks to the sideline when lined up at end. Spins off blocks to get back into the play.
  • He has decent enough flexibility to bend the edge, and he shows a good closing burst.
  • Davis displays good lateral movement skills, capable of working his way down the line with decent range when chasing in pursuit.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Rarely the first player off the snap, even when lined up over the ball, but his length, effort and short-area quickness still pressures double teams and helps penetrate gaps.
  • Lacks overpowering strength and can stick to blocks. Lacks explosive speed to bend and flatten off the corner with stiff hips and ankles. Not flexible or fluid.
  • Davis has to develop a counter move or two in the pass rush, and Davis needs to make better use of his hands.
