Strengths: Very physical player . . . Solid tackler . . . Wraps up ball carriers well rather than diving at knees or ankles . . . Physical with blockers and uses hands well to shed them . . . Should grow to be 195 lbs. or so . . . Excellent make-up speed . . . Transitions well out of backpedal

Weaknesses: Needs to work on pursuit angles rather than counting on speed to bail him out . . . Could be more aggressive and physical when rerouting receivers off the line of scrimmage . . . Does not change directions well when transitioning from backpedal to breaking on underneath routes

Projection: Cornerback.  Davis looks like a boundary corner at the next level because he's a physical player who should be able to hold his own in the run game.  He has good size at 6'0" but doesn't show the instincts to look like a future safety, so I think he'll stick on the edge.  He has very good speed and should be able to turn and run with most receivers, so I think he would fit best with a team that runs predominantly man coverage.  I like his attitude and toughness on the field (he continued to play for a short time after he broke the bone in his back), but he doesn't flash the change of direction to look like a future superstar.

Reminds me of: Troy Woolfolk but a little more physical
