Digging Deep - Vernon Davis


Vernon Davis TE SF – Available in 91% of ESPN leagues.  A tight end that runs a 4.38 forty-yard dash would be any coach’s dream.  Well, that is exactly how fast Vernon Davis is.  He has had a very disappointing start to his career; the 49’rs drafted Davis with the 6th overall pick in the 2006 draft.  Using a 6th overall pick for a tight end is basically unheard of, but that is the type of athlete that Davis is.  San Francisco doesn’t have a bona fide number one receiver, and with Frank Gore possibly being hurt for the next few weeks, a number one is exactly what Davis could turn into.  Obviously a tight end with such amazing speed creates mismatches, but Davis finally showed signs of capitalizing on mismatches. He caught 7 passes for 96 yards and 2 touchdowns, in the 49’rs near week 3 win against the Minnesota Vikings.  With the tight-end position being scarce, Davis is about as close to a must add free agent as you can get.
