Corey Davis is 6’3″, 209 pounds but since he’s injured, he didn’t do any physical tests at the combine. But you can look at his tape and tell he’s going to be a solid WR in the NFL. Along with his size, he’s a great route runner with great hands and can go up for one in traffic.

We don’t know what his 40 is but he has enough play speed to get behind a defender. He is a polished WR and can go in and help the Steelers get the Super Bowl immediately. When they play the Patriots, they would have another option once the Patriots take Brown away.
