Quartney Davis | WR | Texas A&M
Elevator Pitch
Davis projects as a slot receiver at the NFL level. He has the ability to get loose in the open field and get big chunks of yards after the catch. Likely a player who is selected on day three of the NFL Draft. His skill set is definitely best served as a third or fourth receiver.

Strengths
Davis does a good job of working the middle of the field in his routes. His ability to find soft spots in the zone can’t be overlooked. Does a good job of coming in and out of breaks to allow a throwing window for his quarterback. Does a good job of coming to a halt when coverage is tight to create some separation.
He shows the ability of runs after the catch when he is able to get loose from defenders. Throwing screens are a good way to get some chunk plays from Davis. He shows some ability in contested catches with the ability to maintain possession even when a collision is imminent.
Weaknesses
He doesn’t possess top-end speed, so Davis isn’t going to be a vertical threat at the next level for teams. When working against more physical corners who jam him will cause him to get re-routed. The focus should be on how to deal with the initial jolt form a defender. He will need to work on his upper body strength.
Due to his lack of length, Davis doesn’t have a big catch radius for a receiver. His ability to catch the ball outside of his frame is almost non existent. Most due to the fact that his hands are inconsistent. Very much a double catcher or body catcher at the position. Needs to rely more on his hands to be a more consistent producer at the next level.
Due to his size and catch ability, Davis is very limited as to what he can bring to an offense. Doesn’t have it within himself to shake tight coverage and will need accurate passes thrown his way to bring it in. Inconsistent with the jump ball although there are flashes that he can win some of the 50-50 balls.
