His size is quite similar to Gore. Don't know if he'll be that good but at least he's healthy and the second RB drafted from South Carolina the past three 3 years, but with no health concerns.

Notes by ESPN Scout´s Inc
- Finishes strong and often fall forward at the end of runs
- Does all the little things
- Carries out ball fakes and effectively sells screens/draws
- Smart runner with good situational football awareness
- Does a nice job setting up blocks, with good vision as outside runner
- Smart runner
- Will press the sideline and then make sharp vertical cut behind his block
- Uses tempo effectively in open field to keep defenders off balance.
- Can make quick lateral cuts
- Effective jump cut and stop-start move to make penetrating defender miss in backfield
- Shows a second gear
- Keeps momentum forward and runs behind pads
- Tough to bring down when he has momentum behind him
- Consistently drops his pads before entering crowd, and is strong enough in lower body to drive forward for extra yards
- Effective spin move.
- Soft hands on screens thrown high and away
- Shows ability to adjust to ball on run
- Smooth and quick to transition upfield after catch
- In pass pro, gets in position, gets low and shows good initial pop
ESPN´s Take
Davis possesses a well-rounded skill set. At 5-9 and 217 pounds, he runs with a low center of gravity and has quality power as an inside runner. Davis also shows very good patience and vision as a runner and brings versatility as a receiver in the passing game.
Highlight Tape
Man, scouting report looks an awful lot like Frankie without the injury history.

Nice. We needed a rb since hunter is coming off an injury and gore being gone.
This guy looks sweet.

This. We needed a RB in this draft too.
When one game cock doesn't work out just get another.

This vid is shorter but shows his more recent highlights.
Dude looks like a prototypical NFL RB. Exactly the kind of guy I want. 5'9" and 210 with the lower body strength to push through tackles.
I saw the main things I wanted to see in this video: finding holes, pushing through tackles (how sick is that goal line stiff arm!?!?), and out running guys when he gets free. Okay, maybe he wasn't outrunning that many guys... But I'd rather have him out run LBs through gaps than outrun DBs down field.

i love his gratuitous use of the stiff arm lol. looks aggressive, seems to have good vision and a nice short burst with lacking but still there top speed. Frank Gore approved!
