Carlton Davis has had a tremendous season as Auburn’s No. 1 cornerback this season. His play may be deserving of a first-round pick in the 2018 NFL draft, and the Peach Bowl likely will be his last game for the Tigers.
Davis was used in different ways in Kevin Steele’s dominant defense. He was great at bump-and run-coverage when asked to press his opposition off the line of scrimmage. His physicality consistently knocked receivers off their routes and affected the timing of the quarterback.
Against Texas A&M, Davis showed that ability to limit his man off the line of scrimmage.
