Corey Davis is a dynamic talent that could be the best of his class

There isn’t a better combination of size and production in college football than Corey Davis. He’s got size, speed, and an innate ability to get open and make big plays. Like Williams, he could have left school last year and been drafted, but chose to return for his Senior season.

In 2016, Davis put up his best season, with 91 catches, 1,427 yards, and 18 touchdowns. He wasn’t just a one-year wonder, though. In four seasons, he averaged 81 receptions, 1,301 yards, and 13 scores. He also has the ideal frame and skill-set for the NFL, standing 6’3″ and weight in at 213 pounds, with terrific hands and plus speed. A key member of Western Michigan’s offense, he has proven he can do it all on the field.

Davis has all the qualities that an NFL team could want. His big-play ability also makes him a good fit in Arizona in the role Michael Floyd was supposed to play. He’s good enough to be a number one receiver as a professional, and would serve as a nice running mate for Fitzgerald early on. In all likelihood, Arizona would have to use their first round pick to get him, but with his talent, he might be worth it.
