Trait Evaluation

Davis shows solid movement ability for a quarterback with his size. He has enough speed to keep defenses honest and can create positive plays as a runner when necessary. His long stride allows him to cover ground quickly in open space, though he lacks elite top-end acceleration to consistently separate from defensive backs at the second level.

He embraces contact as a runner and competes through traffic with toughness. While he is not a naturally elusive tackle-breaker, Davis consistently fights for additional yardage and shows a physical mentality when plays break down.
