The Cleveland Browns have made a ton of big-time additions this off-season, but general manager Andrew Berry deserves credit for looking under every rock for available talent. Cleveland added another intriguing bottom of the roster piece in The Spring League star, Davion Davis.
BREAKING: #TSLBlues WR Davion Davis is heading to Cleveland for mini-camp with the @Browns.
Davis finished #TSL2021 with 14 receptions for 223 yards and 2 TDs (including this highlight reel catch in Week 1).

Fans of the Browns Wire may find that name familiar as Davis was noted as a top prospect for the 2019 NFL Draft in a pre-season piece, but the former Sam Houston State play-maker went undrafted in 2019 as spent that season with the Minnesota Vikings.

In addition to being an All-American receiver, Davis was also an elite returner in college. Unfortunately, he clocked in the 4.6 range at his pro day helping lead to him going undrafted. Despite running a poor 40, Davis has the speed and elusiveness to play a role in the NFL, but his lack of technique when running routes is what really held him back.
Sam Houston State WR Davion Davis (#14) is a big-play receiver and return specialist who has been very productive (30 career receiving TDs). Very natural pass-catcher with innate feel for the game. #NFLDraft @14DDavis pic.twitter.com/RAyXKOSlsG

Davis tallied 14 receptions for 223 yards and two touchdowns in The Spring League for the Blues and he really looks like a more refined route runner and also looks to have added more muscle and likely weighs over 205 pounds, which is a big deal considering how small he was listed in college at 5’11” and 191 pounds. Davis is not a future All-Pro player, but he brings enough to the table to warrant a serious look and should land a roster spot.
