Displays the ability to block outside on the screen and running game. Good feel for zone coverage, finding the soft spots to get open and give his quarterback a window. He's someone who can take the top off of the defense or settle down underneath and hurt you with his YAC ability.rnrnNote – 3.8 GPA","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66350a48a1577"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/TJEllis_3/status/1766613414321758678","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TJEllis_3/status/1766613414321758678 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1265902' first='Maddox' last='Davis']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"164","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Benton","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e5-Foot-10u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e165 Poundsu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eWide Receiveru003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eClass of 2025u003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernBenton wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1265902' first='Maddox' last='Davis'] is a very quick wide out with good speed and athleticism. Davis displays good and fluent route running with the ability to create separation at his breaks with good body control, balance and burst. He's packaged in the slot, at the X or Y and sometimes taking handoffs in the backfield. He's a shifty wide receiver with good agility and the ability to hurt to vertically with his acceleration.rnrnNote - 4.58 40","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66350a48a171a"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/maddoxdavis05/status/1776023471224435004","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/maddoxdavis05/status/1776023471224435004 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
