He works very little to the inside of the field. I am really confident he will struggle to get off press because that's what Alabama did to him. What separates good college WRs from good pros, you have to be able to beat really good press corners.
Ross struggled in the Alabama game, but he's also got tape of having success against press man against guys like A'doree Jackson. He can improve in that area, but it's not like he can't beat press man. He also only needs to beat press man once to make a huge impact on the game. Plus, how many teams are going to feel comfortable putting their #2 CB in press man against Ross?
Williams answered his speed questions. Obviously, he's a double move guy, but he's not slow. He's shown the most at beating press man and is the best with 50-50 balls. However, he's the worst of the three with his routes. You have to give him points for being clutch and coming up big in big games against elite competition, however.
Davis hasn't faced much press coverage, and will have the steepest learning curve of the three. His hands are a concern, with 16 drops over the last three years. People think he's faster than Williams, but we don't know that and won't know it before the draft. Several guys at the combine were surprisingly slow and it's easy to look comparatively fast playing MAC competition.
