Davis put together two incredible seasons at Iowa State. He produced on a poor team against both weak and quality competition. He is the only player in NCAA history to rush for over 2000 yds two seasons in a row (2010 yds in 1995 and 2185 yds in 1996). With nothing left to prove in college, he declared himself eligible for the 1997 NFL draft. However, as everyone knows, college success does not always equal NFL success and scouts have their doubts about Davis’ NFL career. He lacks the size and speed needed to become an NFL star. Still, it is very hard to overlook his college production and Davis should be a solid NFL back, who might just surprise a lot of people.
