Todd McShay adds Jordan Davis to his NFL Combine Mount Rushmore, predicts landing spot

Todd McShay watched in awe as Jordan Davis turned in a legendary performance at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine. Afterwards, the ESPN NFL draft guru added the former Georgia star to his Mount Rushmore of Combine performances.

“I always think back to Adrian Peterson, Calvin Johnson and Vernon Davis. That’s kind of my Mount Rushmore of Combine performances since I started 22 years ago. We finally got a fourth face for it — Jordan Davis,” revealed McShay. “From what I saw yesterday, it’s not even really humanly possible, right? 341 pounds running a 4.78.

“I went back and looked at just some of the quarterbacks and what they ran — the guys that he’s going to be chasing after — he ran a faster time than Patrick Mahomes did. Mahomes is 225 pounds. That’s 116-pound difference. And then he goes out with a 10.3 broad jump. The longest broad jump in the history of the combine by a player over 300 pounds. You combine those two things, with the tape that we saw from Jordan Davis.”

As you can see, McShay was smitten with Davis after his performance. Still, he recognizes there are drawbacks to the former Georgia star.

“Yes, the weight is always going to be a problem,” stated McShay. “You talk to anyone at Georgia and they say the biggest battle all year long is keeping his weight down.

“He got to 360 and his playing weight down to 341, and you saw what he can do. Now, whoever drafts him has to figure out how you keep that, and maintain it moving forward. But after that performance, I don’t see him getting out of the top-twenty. Personally, I think the Chargers would be a perfect fit. That struggling run defense for years could use a massive man upfront that can run.”

Todd McShay predicts where Jordan Davis gets drafted: ‘I don’t think he’s getting out of the top-twenty now.’

Moreover, Todd McShay knows the perfect fit for Jordan Davis in the 2022 NFL Draft.

“I think the Chargers,” answered McShay. “Their run defense — going back to that divisional playoff loss to the Patriots a couple of years ago — ever since then, it’s just been a problem. So, you got to fix that problem.

“The perfect part about him — at 341 pounds, with some mobility — he can stay in when you’re going into sub-packages, and defend against the run. Even though you don’t have your full seven, in-terms of defensive lineman and linebackers on the field. So, I think he’s going to be a great fit for the Chargers, or any other team.

“But I don’t think he’s getting out of the top-twenty now.”

Todd McShay seems to be in full-bloom love with Jordan Davis after his Combine performance. Come April, the former Georgia star will have NFL teams chomping at the bit to select him.
