Davis ran very poorly at the Combine, but he ripped off a 4.43 at his Pro Day, which is significantly better than DJ's 4.52. Johnson hasn't run a short shuttle yet due to conditions at the Texas Pro Day, but Davis's time was very impressive in that event (3.97). DJ might be able to play SS in a pinch, but he doesn't have the coverage skills and speed/quickness necessary. It's a nice thought, but DJ is definitely an OLB, and the question facing us is whether we want to move Marcus Washington inside in order to get him.
