Nate Davis, Ball StateMeasurables:
Combine height: 6-1 3/8
Combine weight: 226 pounds
Combine 40 time: 4.98 seconds

Stats:
Davis completed 64.3 percent of his passes as a junior, throwing for 3,591 yards and 26 touchdowns against eight interceptions; he also rushed for 410 yards and five touchdowns. For his Ball State career, Davis passed for 9,233 yards and 74 touchdowns against 22 interceptions, completing 60.3 percent of his passes. He also rushed for 860 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Skill Set:
The bottom line on Davis is that he’s talented and athletic and definitely worth developing as a prospect. However, each step of the way there seems to be a contradiction. Davis is a little shorter than the prototypical NFL quarterback prospect… but his over-the-top throwing motion keeps him from having his passes knocked down at the line of scrimmage. He has plenty of arm strength, winning the distance competition at the College Football All-Star Skills Competition with a heave of 69 yards… but scouts have expressed concern about his accuracy. He’s a natural leader… but not a vocal one. He has good mobility and quick feet… but having played in a spread formation he’ll need work on his mechanics and fundamentals.
