Khalil Davis was often a bright spot during a 2019 Nebraska football season that was generally a disappointment.
A defensive lineman from Blue Springs, Missouri, Davis also is making a sizable impression this weekend at the NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
The 6-foot-1, 308-pound Davis ran the 40-yard dash in 4.75 seconds Saturday, the sixth-best time recorded by a defensive lineman in Indy. James Smith-Williams, formerly of North Carolina State, blazed the 40 in 4.62 seconds to lead all interior linemen.
Davis also recorded 32 repetitions in the 225-pound bench press, a mark that placed him in a tie for second among defensive linemen and in the top 10 among all players at the combine as of Saturday afternoon.
