The best OLB prospect you probably never heard of

Demario Davis, Arkansas State, OLB

Probably has a third/fourth round grade by draft week, I really like him. 6' 2" 237 lbs and runs a 4.63 40 yard dash. A leader and a hitter. Can play any LB position, included WLB.

National Football Post

Jumped off the tape at me, left me saying "this is a bad dude." Looks a little shorter and more compact than his 6-3 listing says. However, plays low, is a natural bender, keeps his base down and can really snap through the hips into contact. Is an explosive kid with a "plus" initial first step, natural fluidity when changing directions and can balance himself quickly and unload into contact. Possesses a long set of arms as well when looking to wrap. Is a "plus" tackler who is able to take good angles to the football, breakdown in space and get his man to the ground. Is very effective inside the box as well. Does a nice job using his length and short area quickness to get under blocks and either hold the point and shed on contact or make defenders miss. Rarely is locked up on and is very active/sudden with both his hands and feet. Overall a "plus" run defender. Is always around the football, showcases natural instincts keying off blocks and quickly locating the football. Plays off the correct shoulder well when defeating blocks and is quick to close.

Showcases a solid feel in the pass game as well. Will get caught at times being too narrow with his footwork. However he can bend, drop his pad level and accelerate laterally toward the football. Displays average hands, routinely is forced to double catch and despite his fluidity and quick footwork, looks a bit tight in the upper body which takes away from his ability to generate more force when closing on the play. Nevertheless, has a good feel in zone, reads and reacts well and gets plenty of early jumps on the football.

Impression: One of the biggest surprises on tape this draft season. Was explosive, instinctive and always making plays on the football. Looks like a starting caliber linebacker either inside or out in a 43 scheme.

my only issue is his height and the only reason it concerns me is because he'll probably have to be covering big TEs like graham, winslow, gonzo and whoever the falcons get to replace him when he retires.

aside from that....sure. why not if he's a 4th rounder?

In WalterFootball's top 5 OLB, 4 are listed as 6'2. Is it that big of a deal? Graham will tower over just about anyone.

We're talking possibly a 3rd or 4th. Maybe we could get him in the 5th.

Only one mentioned a 2nd: "good get in the third, may jump as high as mid 2nd"

...and that's not saying let's get go him in the second round.

He's an interesting prospect to talk about

      Bryce QB School Week 12

      It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.

      Heels let another team go up 20 on them but this time they complete the comeback. HD never seems to have his team ready but he makes great halftime adjustments. Powell played the majority of the second half and his defense was the difference along with his big three pointer to give the Heels the lead for good. Trimble and Davis were also spectacular. Carolina can’t let Auburn get out to a 20 point lead though, they won’t be able to come back from that.
