4. Devante Davis, WR, UNLV

Devante Davis Philadelphia Eagles — Davis had a solid career at UNLV, finishing second in school history in career receiving yards (2,785) and 100-yard games (11). Davis struggles with his route running and lacks the speed to excel in the NFL. However, he's an acrobat in the air and pulls down the 50-50 balls. He is good at using his solid frame. If Davis wants to make the team he needs to show the coaching staff that he can play special teams and be a red zone threat.
