Feedback requested on this player...as he's now the latest prospect the Pats have shown interest in:
http://www.kffl.com/team/24/nfl
Some notes:
Listed at 6025 252, projected as a 4th rounder. Emotional-type player/sack artist. Very productive junior and senior seasons at RDE. Played SLB and DE as a Soph. One of the "football is important to him" prospects. High motor player.
Appeared lost in coverage during LB drills at Senior Bowl practices, [FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-2]yet flashed explosive speed off the edge[/SIZE][/FONT] as a pass rusher. Very raw as a LB -- not a finished product.
Here's a good article and excerpt :
The Pats are covering all bases at the tweener position. To date, all of the prospects range from #7 through day two. Some good pass rushers in the group (Davis is one). Some have excellent intangibles too. Most are flawed to some degree; some are undersized, several have limited LB experience, yet many are good football players.
Here's the list of DE/OLB's:
DE/OLB Vernon Gholston - PW & PV
DE/OLB Quentin Groves - PV & PW
DE/OLB Cliff Avril - CBI & PW & PV
DE/OLB Lawrence Jackson - PW
DE/OLB Jason Jones - PV
DE/OLB Darrell Robertson - PV
DE/OLB Bryan Smith - PW
DE/OLB Hilee Taylor - PW
DE/OLB Bruce Davis - PW & CBI & ASI

Here's a good article and excerpt :
---"People always tell me to calm down or tell me I get too emotional. No, no, no. This game is my life," says Davis, whose father Bruce Sr. also went to UCLA and won two Super Bowl rings as an offensive lineman for the Raiders. "As far as I'm concerned I owe this game everything I have, so every time I go out there on the field I let it go. There's no let up, there's none of that. It's just not in my wiring. When I was little kid, I asked my dad if I could miss practice to go to mall one time and I got smacked in the face. There is no room for complacency with me. I'll never take a day off. The day I play my last snap of NFL football is the day I'll finally kick my feet up. "
"It's overwhelming to think about this sometimes, but at the same time this is what I wanted my whole life," he says as he looks at the television. "If the opportunity presents itself and I catch Peyton Manning with his arm still in the air ready to **** back and throw, I'm going to unload on him. Same goes for Tom Brady and all those guys. They're going to be out there trying to torch whatever team I'm playing on, so if I catch 'em, I'm going to hit 'em. I'm going to hit them as hard as I can and let them know that I'm there."
