Kentucky’s Ray Davis has his day at NFL Combine

Kentucky running back Ray Davis performed at the NFL Combine on Saturday

One thing that the Kentucky Wildcats have been known for has been the talent that they have had at the running back position over the years, and this year was no different. From Benny Snell and Chris Rodriguez to Moe Williams and Sonny Collins, the Wildcats have put out some very talented backs and Ray Davis is looking to add his name to that list.

Davis is looking like a mid-round pick after a year that saw him put up 1,129 yards and 14 touchdowns to go along with 33 receptions for 323 yards and seven touchdowns. He was Kentucky’s best offensive player and could be their top player drafted.

Davis had a strong showing at the combine today, weighing in at 211 pounds while standing five foot eight inches tall. He then ran a 4.52 second 40-yard dash, which was good for 10th among running backs. Davis had a 1.56-second 10-yard split on his 40. His 35 inch vertical was good for 11th among running backs and nine foot 11 inch broad jump was good for 10th among running backs as well.

Davis came into the combine as a likely mid round pick and nothing in his Combine should change that. While not blowing it away, Davis had a very good Combine and any questions about his athleticism should be alleviated.
