HEIGHT/WEIGHT/AGE

BIG PICTURE
Quartney Davis had two decent seasons at Texas A&M before declaring for the draft, though it could be argued he left too early. Davis contributed two years for the Aggies with over 500 yards and 11 touchdowns combined, stepping in as the top receiver in place of Christian Kirk, but his efficiency dipped a bit as a junior. The four-star recruit wasn't able to do much after the catch or get downfield. He operated primarily from the slot in 2019.
COMBINE NOTABLES
4.54 40-yard dash
35.5-inch vertical
VIKINGS' COMPATIBILITY RANKING
2 out of 5. Would be the definition of a late-round flier, similar to what the Vikings did last year with Dillon Mitchell and Bisi Johnson.
HIGHLIGHTS
WHAT DRAFT EXPERTS SAY
Lance Zierlein, NFL.com: "Slot receiver with above-average size and adequate speed and separation quickness. He has good feel for space when working against two-deep looks. Willing and able to take on targets in the middle of the field. Davis was hurt by inconsistent quarterbacking but also found it difficult to uncover against tight man-to-man at times. He had some positive moments at the Senior Bowl and despite slightly underwhelming production, could land in Day 3 (Rounds 4-7) as a backup slot target with some outside flexibility."
Joe Marino, Draft Network: "Texas A&M WR Quartney Davis profiles as a slot receiver in the NFL where his route running skills can truly shine in the short to intermediate areas of the field and his below average functional strength would be less problematic than outside. While there’s a lot to like about the way Davis competes through contact and after the catch, he can be swallowed up by physical corners and he lacks consistency with his hands and ball skills. Davis has a modest ceiling in a west coast passing offense and should provide some value as a WR4."
WHAT PFF SAYS
1.62 yards per route run (below average)
6 drops last year (T-241st)
Only 1 deep reception last year
