I just don't think he has that speed.more like 4.7-4.8Yep. He needs to run a 4.4 - 4.5.
Nah, imagine him in a killer NFL offense, they see his value he got the IT factorI hope You are right,but I think his stock has taken a hit with the dismal offense that Uconn showed this year.It feels like he vanished into thin air.

The only way I see him running a really good time,is for him to shed 10 pounds,otherwise it may be a long day for him.I hope I'm wrong.I agree. Think he will run in the 4.6 range.
I think he gets picked up regardless of how he performs. He may not be the biggest or the fastest but the ball will be caught if it's near him. They said the same thing about Mohammed Sanu when he came out of Rutgers and he's having a pretty productive career so far. I believe Davis is better than Sanu so he's going to have a pretty good career.
Sanu also ran pretty impressive 40 times at his pro day. Davis needs to show that he has the speed to separate. I think that's the difference between some team drafting him as a potential future starter and just a late round red zone target.
I was hoping for a good year too but even with that, I think it all still would have come down to his combine and pro day numbers. There are just way too many big receivers with marginal speed who can't separate and never do much in the NFL for a team to take a high shot because of college production. Hopefully he surprises us and throws down a great combine performance.Touche. I was hoping he'd have a good year this to solidify him as a late second round draft pick. He needs a monster combine to probably even sniff anything higher than the fourth round. Some team is going to get a huge steal. Either way, I hope to be buying his Jersey, unless he's a Giant, Jet, Cowboy, Dolphin, Bill, Bronco, Bear....actually I just hope he gets drafted by the Patriots.
