What Makes Davis Special:

The first thing you notice is the incredible production. Davis had 97 receptions for 1,500 yards this season. For the third season in a row, Davis scored double digit touchdowns. This season, Davis had 19 touchdown receptions. The most impressive thing is that Davis saw his productivity increase every season. Davis had 67 receptions in his freshman campaign, and each year the numbers gradually got bigger. We are talking about a big play waiting to happen.

Davis has the things that you cannot coach. Davis has a thick 6’3″ frame and blazing speed. When he catches the football he has great instincts. If you think he is fast running routes, you should see him with the football. It’s like he has an entirely different gear. Davis has the build of Julio Jones. While he is a small school prospect, Davis has big time talent.

Davis looks the part of a great player. He could be the Ravens version of Julio Jones or Dez Bryant. He could be the Ravens Antonio Brown or A.J. Green. Why should the Steelers and the Bengals be the only AFC North teams with a top target?
