It’s hard to judge what kind of a camp an RB is having. All they’re doing is handing the ball off to them. You really can’t tell how they’re performing until the tackling starts in games and they’re having to make defenders miss and find holes.
It's really hard to judge what kind of camp any player is having, but I agree that it's especially hard for backs because they don't allow much real tackling. The media gets caught up in this player or that player and the player disappears during games because the speed of it picks up and it's more physical. Certain aspects of skill stand out more than others in camp because of what's allowed and not allowed.
Davis doesn't have great speed or awe-inspiring cutting ability. What he showed last year was good vision in traffic, enough cutting ability to get to the lane, enough speed to get around the corner and toughness once contact is made. Most of that is not going to show up when the whistle is blown as soon as you are touched.
