Jarrad Davis' tape shows a freakishly athletic player, and the linebacker confirmed that was the case Tuesday by producing an outstanding performance at Florida's pro day.

Davis - who missed last month's combine due to a high ankle injury - ran the 40-yard dash in 4.56 seconds, according to Jared Stranger of SeattleSeamocks.com.

That mark would have made him the second-fastest linebacker at the combine, behind only Jabrill Peppers, who'll likely be a safety at the next level.

The 6-foot-1, 238-pound linebacker's vertical and broad jumps were just as impressive. He jumped 10-foot-9 in the broad, and his 38.5-inch vertical would have been the best mark for a linebacker at the combine by a full inch.

Davis' first vertical leap was so high that it forced the equipment to be adjusted for his second attempt:

Prior to his pro day, Davis was being touted as an early Day 2 prospect, but might now be a threat to force his way into the first round after this eye-popping outing.
