    Overview
    Brinks-truck runner with the size and power to collide through first contact and create additional yards. Davis is a naturally physical player due to his size but also possesses the bend and footwork to create alternate pathways when needed. He will need to ramp up his decisiveness and hit holes more quickly to thrive through the step up in competition. Davis has limited speed to widen NFL defenses and will need to run with more downhill focus. He has the potential to play all three downs and should be in consideration in the middle rounds.

    Strengths
    • Well-built frame includes flexible lower body and nimble feet.
    • Patient and capable following his blocks as inside or outside runner.
    • Feet chop through reads and contact to keep runs from stalling out.
    • Runs with very heavy pads to break tackles and carry bodies with him.
    • Adequate footwork to re-route the run according to traffic with relative success.
    • Has the size, strength and pass-catching background for third-down reps.
    Weaknesses
    • Needs to run with more decisive burst at the point of entry.
    • Tendency to bounce runs wide will work against him as a pro.
    • Average shake to elude big hitters from second level.
    • Could have issues squeezing through tighter run creases.
    • Hands are fairly average when catching throws outside his frame.

    Good luck! RB depth is always important, but I thought the lack of O-line or LB in the later rounds was kind of curious.

    Yeah me too. He doesn't even sound like a very good prospect. He's on the slow side, doesn't have great hands

    I also didn't understand this pick. We needed/still need safety help and O line in general help.

    thanks for these videos. I like the way he runs and finds holes for himself. It’s just worries me the level of competition he faced. Let’s see what he can bring in training camp

    You're welcome. His vision is amazing, as are his quick, nimble feet. Can he do that against a much higher level of competition? We'll see, but I think he has a chance.
