Vernon Davis

When I understood how important it was to be selfless and do things for the sake of the team, then I became a better, not just a better player, but a better person overall because that shifted over to life.

That gave me a lesson and I'm extremely grateful for it.

I appreciate it.

Good to be here.

Good to be here.

Doing well.

Yeah, you're taking me back, man.

You got me thinking about it.

Those are the fun days.

I remember just trying to figure it out.

That's when I was trying to figure it out.

And you're right, they were switching coverage on me.

A lot of it had to do with my speed, me being able to go from 225 pounds to 250 pounds and keep my speed.

That was a shock to me as well.

The thing that, that I, the, the engine behind me is for one, um,

Understanding where I came from and how it started.

Like, everything that created me, everything that I saw, the experiences that gave me life, you know, the ones that were here and are no longer here, right?

I do it for them, and I bring everything together.

And when you have...

that collage behind you, then you have something to work with.
