It's a fun afternoon of tape study watching Pierce play the game like a coiled spring ready to explode on each snap. He's an urgent runner with twitchy downfield burst, tackle-breaking leg drive and outstanding balance through contact. He reads and reacts to block development quickly and creates additional yardage with both power and subtle shiftiness. Pierce was highly productive (16 total touchdowns) in 2021 despite an embarrassingly low usage rate by the coaching staff. He has plenty of tread left on the tires and fits into any run-blocking scheme as a quality future starter or member of a RB tandem.
Davis is a patient runner with adequate size and an above-average feel for run-lane development. However, he doesn't have the burst or speed to play behind schedule in racing through creases, and that could be a problem for him at the next level. Davis will need to do most of his work off tackle or between the tackles and his contact balance and toughness can help in that regard. He has enough third-down potential to help his cause but might need to state his case for a spot as a RB3/4 as an undrafted free agent.
