Princeton QB Kevin Davidson

You won’t see many Ivy League prospects talked about when it comes time for the 2020 NFL draft. Davidson, who took over for Chiefs’ tight end convert John Lovett at Princeton, is actually a pretty good sleeper prospect at the quarterback position. Teams will get a chance to get a closer look at him during the East-West Shrine game this year.

Against Bucknell earlier this season, Davidson broke the Ivy League record for passing touchdowns in a single game with seven. He’s thrown 20 touchdowns to just five interceptions this season. He doesn’t just put up gaudy numbers either, he’s quite efficient at moving the ball down the field and managing the game.

At 6-feet-4 and 225 pounds, he has the size to handle the NFL game. As with most quarterbacks coming out of college, there are some technical things that coaches will want to work with him on related to his throwing motion and footwork. There’s enough there in terms of physical tools and ability that I could see a team taking a late-round flier on this player or perhaps bringing him in as an undrafted free agent.

The Kansas City Chiefs don’t need a quarterback, but why pay a veteran to backup Patrick Mahomes when you can develop someone behind him. Perhaps a player like Davidson could even develop into a trade chip down the line.
