Overview

Gabriel Davis is going to be limited in the NFL, especially early on in his career. Being schemed open as often as he was at UCF, has led to some rough transitions, and he lacks the route tree repertoire, quickness, and acceleration to make up for it in the NFL.

Davis' primary usage is going to be as a boundary receiver where he can use his size to his advantage. Working him in the middle of the field is going to be a huge mistake because he doesn’t show the potential to offer up anything there.

Being a jump-ball getter and red-zone threat is his forte and could see him limited to a WR4 receiver for an NFL team. Development can happen, but he doesn’t show the right traits on tape.
