While Davis may lack some of the flash that a player like Jaydon Blue possesses, or some of the Marshawn Lynch-type runs that a player like Phil Mafah brings, what Davis brings to the table is consistency, and that's something we have not seen yet from any of the young backs.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Davis shows consistency and efficiency; 4.8 YPC in 2025 with heavy preseason workload ahead.

Davis brings consistency that has not been seen from the young Cowboys backs. A UDFA after the 2022 draft, Davis has shown a pattern of impressing when given opportunities: 38 carries for 161 yards (4.2 YPC) and a TD in 12 games in 2022, then 52 carries for 250 yards (4.8 YPC) and two TDs in 10 games in 2025. The source notes Davis 'tends to show up every time his number is called' and will likely see heavy workload in week two preseason with Blue and Mafah limited.
