4. Ashtyn Davis, Cal 6-1, 195 (2)
Why He’s Here On The List: A wonderful all-around talent, Davis has tremendous range, is quick enough to be used on punt returns, and he’s not afraid to get his nose dirty. He’s a top athlete who could become an ideal free safety, but that’s selling him a bit short on his pop.
What The NFL Types Want To See: Is everything okay? He missed the Redbox Bowl with an undisclosed injury, but as long as he’s able to turn it loose, he’ll rip off one of the best 40 times among the safeties. Again, if all is well and he’s running just fine, he might be fast enough to get a look at corner.
Bottom Line: A versatile all-around talent with room to get better, he has everything you’re looking for in an NFL defensive back, even if he doesn’t have a sure-thing position. He’s not quite a perfect-looking safety, but with his athleticism and skills, take him and figure it out.
