Vernon Davis

[speedkilz88]

I remember Johnny Mitchell had a very good 40 and he was also very athletic. He started out well for the Jets but for some reason he just went downhill. I think he even had a cup of coffee at valley ranch at the end.

I don't know that I would play him at TE. I might just line him up in the slot with Key and Terry on the outside. Go one back set and motion him all over the field. Screw TO. Draft this guy.

What he said. Amen, Amen and Amen.

 

[Dough Boy]

He ran a 4.41 and a 4.46 at his pro day and he ran a 4.53 at the combine. Different track at the RCA now. At 255 lbs I would say that is similar.

I guess that track at the RCA makes a diff. His 4.53 at the combine was faster than K2's 40 at his UM pro day.

all i can say is wow.........4.37 n the 40 thats faster then alot of the recievers....hes big, strong, and got a 42inch vertical....that for a tight end is pretty amazing...him and witten...just for get about a fb juss run 2 tightend sets, motion vernon davis to slot reciever....image a linebacker, safety or corner trying to gaurd somebody that big and fast...if their at 18, which i kno he wont but look at health miller, i would take him

I saw him also, but it is wishful thinking that we could get him. He will be long gone before we pick.

 

[Verdict]

What's your definition os similar? Watson ran in the 4.58 range. I can not recall another TE running a sub 4.40.

Keith Jackson had blazing fast speed. He was 4.40 range.

 

[Dough Boy]

Keith Jackson had blazing fast speed. He was 4.40 range.

Are you sure about that?

Hope you don't mind traffic, trolley cars, and the occasional earthquake, Vernon.

 

[riggo]

being a terps fan, i've seen alot of this guy. he is a beast. huge and fast- if he keeps a good head on his shoulders- unlike that knucklehead winslow- he should be a heck of a player.

 

[demdcowboys#1]

Amazing, he's will be one hell of a TE when he goes to whatever team drafts him. He will be an absolute BEAST, possible OROY already, with that talent, future pro bowler for sure, I am very very impressed with him

 

[Hostile]

Not even close. Shannon Sharpe ran his mouth faster.

As Zig Ziglar once said "he talks 80 miles per hour with occasional gusts up to 200."

 

[ghettogandhi]

Davis is a stud and will be a top flight te in the mold of antonio gates- very explosive and the first guy rarely brings him down..

FUNNY QUote- from the coach of the u of md- "have you seen that guys body (referring to Davis)...if I could switch bodies with one guy it would be him

 

[rlgiv]

Not only could we run two tight end sets, motion him out as a wide reciever, or back into the backfield this guy could probably line up and start as an outside linebacker opposite of Ware.

 

[Dayton Cowboy]

Are there any photos from his workout today? Colin Cowherd was talking about how ripped he was and to put up that sort of 40 time is incredible.

 

[Verdict]

Are you sure about that?

Yes. Keith Jackson had GREAT speed in college. I'm not sure of his official time at the combine, but I watched him smoke people in college week after week.

 

[like a dog]

This guy is a singular talent and will be a weapon in the NFL. If he is still around at 18, Dallas would be insane not to take him.

That being said, he will almost certainly be long gone by that point, and as enticing as Davis is, I don't see the Cowboys moving up in this draft to get a skill position player.
