Dennis Davis Grade: 3.28
Position: CB
Class: Sr
School: Georgia Tech
Conference: Atlantic Coast
Ht., Wt.: 5-11, 186
40 Time: 4.45

BIO: Full-time starter as a senior, producing career-best numbers of 31/3/5. Started the first three games of the .04 campaign before being sidelined with injury.

POSITIVES: Improving cornerback coming off a solid senior campaign. Fluid backpedaling off the line, smooth transitioning to run with opponents and possesses solid instincts. Effective in zone facing the quarterback yet also does a good job making plays in man coverage. Has a burst to the play and a decisive move defending passes.

NEGATIVES: Does not consistently play to his size and struggles against larger opponents. Does not play to his listed speed.

ANALYSIS: A sprinter on Georgia Tech.s track team, Davis displayed skills last season. Comes with injury concerns but potentially a solid dime back.

PROJECTION: Mid Seventh Round
