Davis is a 6-foot-4, 194-pound wide receiver in his second professional season out of North Carolina Central. He was with both the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings as a rookie last season, but did not appear in a game.
Davis did not have a prolific college career, topping out at NC Central with 489 yards and four touchdowns in 11 games in 2024, but he had outstanding pre-draft athletic testing numbers.

In two preseason games, Davis played a total of 24 snaps, 22 on offense and two on punt coverage. He was targeted twice and made one catch for six yards.
