NFL Draft: UConn WR Geremy Davis selected in the 6th Round, 144th Overall

The New York Giants selected Geremy Davis today, adding size and strength to a receiving corps which includes last year's rookie sensation Odell Beckham Jr. and former Pro Bowler Victor Cruz.

Geremy Davis has the size and skills to make it in the NFL as a possession receiver. Unfortunately, scouting reports have continuously knocked his technique and athletic chops. His draft situation remained uncertain as a result. Still, he is a great blocker and should be able to contribute immediately on special teams.

The other knock on Davis was that he took a step back in productivity his senior year after a stellar junior season where he caught 71 passes for 1,085 yards and 3 touchdowns.
