USC TE Fred Davis ran a disappointing forty at the Trojans' Pro Day Wednesday, timing in the 4.7s.
NFL Network's Mike Mayock said Davis also struggled to finish his change-of-direction drills and did not appear fluid. Davis relied on his vertical skills during a breakout senior campaign, so the poor workout may send up a red flag. It was the first time Davis (knee) has worked out this offseason.

Not really a Sporano/Parcells type of TE anyways...

I know Fred Davis actually is surprising me some. I wasn't expecting him to show that kind of strength. I don't care about his forty. If he is there at 2B I wouldn't mind him.

Found this update:
04/02/08 - Mackey Award winner Fred Davis, who elected to only compete in the positional drills and bench press at the Combine, secured his position among this year's top tight ends with a solid showing. Davis recorded a 33-inch vertical jump and was twice timed in the high 4.6s in the 40. Most important, Davis caught the ball very well during position drills. In uncharacteristically dropping several passes during drills at the Combine, Davis needed to ease scouts' concerns. He did so Wednesday, contorting his body easily to snatch passes from a variety of angles. To show his versatility, Davis was lined up outside as a receiver, inside as the slot, in motion and in the three-point stance as a typical tight end. In all cases, he caught the ball cleanly, suffering only one drop -- and that was a poorly thrown pass
