49ers' Mike Davis: Finishes preseason with impressive 7.8 YPC

After gaining 37 yards on five carries Thursday, Davis finishes his preseason campaign with 148 yards on 19 carries, good for an impressive 7.8 yards per carry.

Analysis:

Davis is battling fellow running backs DuJuan Harris and Kelvin Taylor for two possible backup spots on the 53-man roster. While his explosive running this preseason has come against backups on defense, Davis looks noticeably slimmer and quicker than he did during his rookie campaign where he averaged 1.7 yards per carry. His strong play makes him a favorite to win one of the final backup roles.
