Vernon Davis Rumors & News

The 49ers minicamp did not provide many answers to the burning questions facing the 49ers, but there are still bits of information worth noting. According to Grant Cohn, Vernon Davis spent all of minicamp working with the wide receivers, as opposed to the tight ends. Additionally, Anquan Boldin lined up in the slot "a vast majority of the time." The 49ers used two tight ends rather frequently last season, but one has to wonder how they'll work in their tight ends this season. Greg Roman is always looking for an edge, always looking to throw defenses off guard. Vernon Davis has done som...

The slowness of the offseason leads to a variety of themed columns that are oft-repeated across the Internet. I'd like to say everything we create here at Niners Nation comes from my own brilliant mind, but that is hardly the case. Today, we continue forth with an Internet favorite: overrated and underrated players! A couple weeks ago, CBS Sports Pete Prisco put together his overrated and underrated players for each team. For the 49ers, he listed Vernon Davis as most overrated, and Ahmad Brooks as most underrated: Overrated: TE Vernon Davis. He is good, and he did some good things in ...

NFL Network continued their countdown of the "Top 100" players in the NFL on Thursday evening, and it was loaded with 49ers. Frank Gore was ranked 32, NaVorro Bowman was ranked 37 and Vernon Davis was ranked 38. They joined Joe Staley, who was No. 78, and Colin Kaepernick, who was No. 81. New 49ers wide receiver Anquan Boldin was ranked No. 93, and former 49ers safety Dashon Goldson was ranked No. 96. The list is based on a player vote, and is entirely subjective, but still an interesting piece of content for analysis. There are 30 players remaining, and it will be interesting to see w...

The headline for this edition of the Nuggets is an old one. "Colin Kaepernick and Vernon Davis working on chemistry". I remember various stories during last season and young Kaepernick's rise from backup to world beater that touted the growing chemistry or the work in progress that was their chemistry or whatever the prevailing idea was at the time. Now we've got the same thing all over again. What this means is that there is a lack of chemistry. Luckily they have all offseason with Kaep taking first team snaps to sort it out. Vernon Davis is one of the most deadly weapons in the game ...

Yesterday morning, NFL.com's Adam Schein put together a list of the NFL's most indispensable offensive players. In putting together his list, Schein removed quarterbacks from the equation. We know the quarterback is important, but with so many other players on the field, it's worth looking at the rest of the offense. Schein listed his top nine players, and he included 49ers tight end Vernon Davis at No. 5: I argued last week on NFL.com that, despite the blow of losing Michael Crabtree to a torn Achilles, the Niners are still the best team in the NFL. A large part of that argument hing...
