Dominique Davis Scouting Report |
Dominique Davis - East Carolina (HT: 6-2⅞ - WT: 218) |
Positives -- Very accurate passer who makes precise throws within 15 yards of the line of scrimmage and works the middle of the field well... Set an NCAA
single game record with 26 consecutive completions against Navy this year and completed 36 in a row total by completing his final ten passes in his previous game, also an NCAA record... Has a quick throwing motion that compensates a bit for his lack of arm strength... Above average athlete who can maneuver outside the pocket and throw while on the run... Has shown the ability to pick up the first down with his feet... Has NFL bloodlines, his brother is former Bears tight end Desmond Clark... Has some intriguing physical tools and could develop into a decent backup over time if he lands in a system best fit for his abilities.
Negatives -- Sub-par arm strength, doesn't get much velocity on his throws... Will struggle with his deep outs and anything down the field... Seems to float some of his deep passes, just doesn't the arm to chuck the ball down field... Overall production fell off as a senior as his yards and touchdowns decreased and his interceptions increased... Struggled in big games, threw for a combined two touchdowns and six interceptions against North Carolina, Virginia Tech, and Houston this year... Mechanics will fall apart when he's under pressure, footwork gets sloppy and doesn't set his feet... Terrible decision maker who will force throws and doesn't seem to understand that his arm isn't a howitzer... A bit on the thin side, looks frail and could get crushed by NFL defenders... Played in a spread offense which definitely helped pad his stats a bit... East Carolina's offense relies on receivers to get a lot of yards after the catch, most of his throws weren't for more than ten yards down the field... Throws a lot of check down passes and screens which aided in his high completion percentage.

At East Carolina -- (Official School Bio) Made his highly-anticipated East Carolina debut last fall and didn't disappoint, immediately earning a reputation as one of the nation's top quarterbacks from a statistical, productivity and impact standpoint... A 2011 Consensus Draft Services Preseason All-America selection after a record-setting first year... Named to the 2011 Maxwell Award and Davey O'Brien Award Watch Lists... Originally inked with the Pirates as a mid-year signee in December, 2009 (from Fort Scott Community College)... Remained committed to ECU after meeting head coach Ruffin McNeill for the first time immediately after his hire, but missed the start of the academic semester (which prevented participation in spring drills)... Loyalty to the Pirate program was evidenced by self-funded move to Greenville and attendance at all 15 spring workouts to absorb as much knowledge as possible about new offensive scheme... Competition in Atlantic Coast Conference wars while at Boston College brought a much-needed battle-tested, big-game mindset to a program which had lost a six-year signal-caller the previous season... Vision, mobility, quickness, passing touch, poise, mental preparation and competitive instincts have all been lauded by coaching staff, but work ethic and leadership skills are most respected by teammates who voted him to serve as team captain on 10 of 13 occasions last season... Enjoyed a productive spring, fine-tuning his responsibilities in the spread scheme... Completed 13-of-18 passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns during the first scrimmage April 2... Found Danny Webster (five yards) and Justin Jones (13) with scoring tosses in the opener, before hooking up with Dayon Arrington on a 17-yarder in the second contest on the way to a 10-of-16, 120-yard effort April 9... Finished drills with limited action in the Purple-Gold Game April 16, completing all four attempts for 29 yards and a touchdown - a three-yard throw to Joe Womack to open the scoring... A 2011 Preseason All- Conference selection (fourth-team) by Phil Steele Magazine... Labeled as the "6th-best NFL talent" in C-USA and "Coolest In The Clutch" by Lindy's Magazine.
