The Value of Gabe Davis
Important to re-examine right before the draft as many folks are calling for the Bills to draft a WR in round #1.
Buffalo, N.Y. (WGR 550) - Since 2020, there have been exactly 50 wide receivers drafted by NFL teams in the fourth round or later.
Of those 50, only one has already caught 20 or more touchdown passes in his NFL career.
That would be Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis.
Of those 50, only one has caught more than just one playoff touchdown so far in their NFL career.
That would also Davis with a whopping six!
Even without his record-setting four-touchdown performance against the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2021 AFC Divisional Round, Davis would still rank first in total playoff touchdowns for any receiver drafted in the fourth round or later since 2020.
In just the last two playoff years alone, in four games, Davis has caught 19 passes for 389 yards and six scores. That’s an average of close to five catches and over 97 yards per-game, earning him the nickname “Playoff Gabe” from many fans.
Davis’ 26 combined regular and postseason touchdown catches are the most ever recorded in the first three seasons for any player drafted in the fourth round or later, breaking Tyreek Hill’s 25 from 2016-18.
So it’s safe to say through three seasons in Buffalo, Davis’ overall production has far outweighed his draft position compared to his peers.
