Vernon Davis

Vernon Davis is a recently retired NFL Tight End who has played for the San Francisco 49ers, the Denver Broncos and the Washington Redskins. As well as having an illustrious career in his sport, Davis has also dabbled in acting and dedicates much of his time to charitable work.

Davis played Football throughout his time at school and university before being signed onto the 49ers in 2006 when he was fresh out of his education. He had already made waves during his time at college and was immediately chosen as a tight end. During his trials, he proved himself with his speed, jumping and general skill.

He was a valuable member of the 49ers up until 2014 when he was struggling with injuries. He moved to the Broncos for a short time before signing with the Redskins. He performed well at both teams, but his former glory from the 49ers was behind him. In 2020, he opted to retire after he sustained another injury.
