This is the best NFL draft content there is yearly. The dude ranks 1,698 players! Not even 15% of those guys will get drafted. Here is where the UCF players rank.
WEAKNESSES: Short, squatty frame and needs to work on his build ... carries some sloppy weight and needs to stay on top of his conditioning ... below average finishing skills, often playing out of control and sliding off the ball carrier ... his hands are active, but his pass rush moves aren’t connected ... late with his hands, allowing blockers to reach his chest ... struggles to recover once blockers gain the upper hand ... has played in only five games since the 2019 season after opting out of the 2020 season and suffering a torn ACL in his right knee (October 2021), requiring surgery a month later.
SUMMARY: A two-year starter at UCF, Davis was a three-technique in defensive coordinator Travis Williams’ front, lining up inside, outside and over the guard. A 235-pound linebacker as a senior in high school, he transitioned to the defensive line in 2019, missed the 2020 season because of COVID and was in the midst of a breakout senior year before his ACL injury. Davis bursts upfield with his low center of gravity and football GPS to either find cracks at the line of scrimmage or create them. However, he tends to rely on his first step and effort as a rusher rather than a coordinated plan of attack, which also hurts his finishing ability. Overall, Davis’ tape has more flash than consistency (only five games played the last two seasons), but he fires out of his stance with twitch and range to create backfield disruption vs. the run and as a pass rusher. He is a developmental three-technique prospect.
