Scouting Report: Strengths
- When his hand placement is right, Davis has the strong grip that allows him to manhandle opponents. Davis plays with a mean streak and keeps the nastiness going through the whistle.
- Consistently keeps his feet sliding while maintaining power when dealing with speed, often sending speed rushers flying past the pocket
- Anchors against larger defenders in the middle; resets hands to maintain distance. Athletic enough to help on nose tackle then pick up twist or late blitzer. Mirrors quick interior rushers. Looks to help the center when uncovered.
- Showing some nastiness to his game, he will sustain blocks through the whistle, thriving when he’s in the phone booth.
- Consistently lands blocks at the second level, and he finishes strong. As a pass protector, he has violent, heavy hands. Along with a strong initial punch, he has the hand strength to grip and redirect pass rushers.
- Has the functional strength to hold up against the bull rush, and he shows exceptionally quick and precise hands.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Isn't an elite quick-twitch blocker and his height causes him to be out-quicked. Leaks inside pressure when his technique gets sloppy.
- He’s shaky as a pass protector, which is troublesome for the next level. Davis often plays too high with an inconsistent kick slide.
- He seems too focused on winning with his hands, too often stopping his feet. Davis also plays with poor balance in the run game, lunging into contact rather than sinking his hips and delivering a block.
