Overview:

Davis has spent most of his college career sitting behind Danny Coale and Jarrett Boykin, but he has emerged as Virginia Tech?s most dynamic receiving target in 2012.

His best trait is his athleticism and ability to pluck the ball out of the air, which has resulted in a lot of big, game-changing plays this year. ?With Logan Thomas showing a lot of issues with his accuracy, Davis? size and catching radius has helped subside Thomas? flaws.

Davis? is built to be a big-play outside receiver; he is not built like a shifty, small slot receiver, although he can move laterally. At 6?4, 232, he has enough size and raw ability to be a potential starter in the NFL. To me, he is one of the most underrated receiving prospects in the country whose production is hampered by a stale offense and?inconsistent?quarterback play. ?How he?develops?depends on how quickly he can pick up an NFL offense has how he can adjust to press coverage at the next level.

? natural open-field running ability.
? Shows great balance and body control and balance when going for passes.
? A few drops, but many passes were high or contested balls.
