David Givens | WR | Notre Dame | IA Independents
Selected by New England Patriots in round 7, pick 33 (244 overall)
Height Weight 40 Grade
6'0 217 4.59 3.37
Two-year starter that saw spot duty with the first team early in his career. Totaled 33/317/9.6/0 as a senior after a junior campaign when he posted 25/310/12.4/2 catching the ball and 11/20.6/0 as a kick returner.

Nice-sized, athletic receiver that may be better than his production numbers indicate. Extends his hands, makes the tough grab in traffic and displays the ability to catch the ball cleanly. Runs sharp routes, stays low exiting them and can adjust to reach back and grab the errant throw. Good hand-eye coordination but loses focus, concentration and does not display consistent hands. Had a solid combine workout and may just need proper coaching and the right system at the next level to see him flourish and reach his potential. Mid Seventh Round.
