Ray Davis Summary:
The Positives
- Receiving potential
- Very good change of direction
- Decent shiftiness
- Powers through tacklers effectively
- Good speed but needs to learn to use it more instead of all patience
The Negatives
- Old for a rookie running back
- Very patient style runner that is both a good and bad thing
Davis has the tools to be a starter in the NFL, but his age is a glaring red flag. Talent wise he could be considered a late day 2 pick, but seeing as he will be a 24/25 year old rookie, he likely falls to day 3 or beyond. He has potential as a third down back but can me more with his great change of direction and decent wiggle. The Jerome Ford comp is not perfect, but a similar role to what Ford had this year with Cleveland could be in the cards for Davis.
