Davis project as a starting right guard at the next level. There are some questions as to whether he has the flexibility to play left guard, but for now, we are going to assume he is strictly a starting left guard. Wyatt’s first punch is a thing of beauty, he sets himself squarely and has really good hand placement. This makes Davis a great fit for a zone running scheme where he gets into space and has to impact a defender and move on.
Davis’s ability to see defenders and get hands on them is his strongest asset. He has good mobility to get to defenders and land that punch. If a defender is smaller than him, odds are they will get pushed off the line and knocked back to create room for the quarterback or running back. He can pull around the edge and seal a linebacker easily. He will also do well in a quick passing offense.
