Round 4: Nebraska DT Khalil Davis
A native of Blue Springs, Missouri, Davis was one of the biggest winners at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. The former track & field athlete posted the fastest 40-yard dash (4.75) among defensive linemen weighing over 300 pounds. His athleticism jumps off the tape and is really quite impressive given his size.
In each of his four seasons at Nebraska, Davis has improved his play, culminating in a great senior season. He had career highs in total tackles (44), tackles for loss (11) and sacks (8) in 2019. He has a very quick first step and plays with great pad level. The one area that he’ll always face struggles in is length, with 31.5-inch arms.
Davis and his twin brother Carlos likely would have been invited to the Chiefs’ local pro day. That was canceled amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but you can rest assured the team is aware of the talent from their own backyard.
