6. Raekwon Davis, Alabama

Alabama’s Raekwon Davis hasn’t had as impactful of a season as most were expecting coming into his senior year with the Crimson Tide.

Davis has only notched two tackles behind the line of scrimmage and has just half a sack through ten games in 2019. He’s disappeared at times and just hasn’t had that same juice he looked to have in previous seasons.

That being said, Davis is still a freaky athlete inside and is still cable of changing a game by himself. He is quick off the ball, strong in his base and can move latterly better than anybody in this group. He’s a good space-filler that can make an impact on all three downs, which makes his skill set attractive in terms of scouting.

He’s built perfectly for the NFL in terms of his stature and physique and can be used at several different defensive alignments, allowing for a valuable versatility that is coveted in today’s game.

Davis will still have plenty of chances down the stretch to secure a potential first-round selection, but for now he comes in at number six on this top ten interior defensive linemen of the 2020 NFL Draft list.
