At 6'4" and weighing 195 pounds, Tacario Davis is the kind of cornerback NFL GMs dream about. His size alone makes him a standout, but it was his performance at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis that really turned heads. Davis clocked an unofficial 4.41 in the 40-yard dash, a time that had NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah nodding in approval with a "that'll play."
Davis didn't stop there. He also showcased a 37-inch vertical leap and a 10'3" broad jump, further proving that he's more than just a big body on the field.
In his sole season at Washington, Davis quickly locked down a starting position, forming a formidable duo with Ephesians Prysock. Despite battling injuries that limited him to seven games, Davis made a significant impact with two interceptions, 19 tackles, and three pass breakups.
Originally hailing from Long Beach, California, Davis made his mark at Milikin High School before signing with Arizona under coaches Jedd Fisch and John Richardson. He became a staple in the Wildcats' secondary, earning All-Big 12 honors in 2024 with 44 tackles and six pass breakups.
As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches in Pittsburgh, Davis is projected to be a late day two or early day three pick. However, with his impressive size, coverage instincts, and that eye-catching 40-yard dash, he might just sneak into the second round. Keep an eye on this one; he’s got the tools to make a big impact at the next level.
