Fans of the Washington Huskies should keep a close eye on the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, where five players are representing the program, including defensive backs Tacario Davis and Ephesians Prysock. On the opening day of interviews, Davis revealed that he already has a scheduled meeting with the Chicago Bears, highlighting the team’s clear interest in him.
Chicago’s attention appears focused on long, physical cornerbacks, as the Bears have also shown public interest in Devin Moore of the Florida Gators, with both players standing around 6’3” tall. The organization seems to be evaluating rangy defensive backs who can add size and coverage versatility to their secondary.
Davis emphasized during interviews that he wants NFL teams to see him as more than just a coverage specialist, stressing that he understands defensive schemes and football concepts, which could boost his draft stock. With the Bears coming off a playoff appearance and seeking secondary upgrades, Davis’ combination of length and football IQ could make him an attractive rookie addition.
Meanwhile, Prysock did not disclose which teams he is meeting with, a common strategy among prospects keeping their draft discussions private. It is also likely that Davis is attracting interest from multiple franchises beyond Chicago.
On the field, the most exciting part of the combine for fans will come tomorrow, when the players showcase their measurable attributes and athletic testing performances.
