He played college football for the Maryland Terrapins, earning first-team All-American honors in 2005. Davis was selected by the San Francisco 49ers with the sixth overall pick of the 2006 NFL draft. In 2009, he co-led the NFL in touchdown receptions and consequently earned his first of two career Pro Bowl selections. In the 2011–12 NFL playoffs with the 49ers, Davis caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Alex Smith against the New Orleans Saints, referred to as "the Catch III". In 2015, Davis was traded to the Denver Broncos, where he won Super Bowl 50 with the team over the Carolina Panthers. He then signed with the Washington Redskins in 2016, where he played until retiring following the 2019 season. Early life Davis attended Truesdell Elementary in Washington, D.C., and later attended Paul Public Charter School for middle school. [2] However, Paul did not have a football team, and Davis played for neighboring MacFarland Middle School as a result. He went on to attend Dunbar High School in Washington. [3] Davis was a letterman in football, basketball, and track & field. At Dunbar, he was teammates with future Cleveland Browns kick return specialist and wide receiver, Josh Cribbs. [4] Davis played tight end and safety, but he also played wide receiver, kick returner, linebacker, and defensive end. In his senior season, Davis caught 21 passes for 511 yards and five touchdowns, despite missing three games with a deep bone bruise below his knee. Davis also caught three two-point conversions and returned two kick offs and two punts for touchdowns. As a junior, he had 35 receptions for 385 yards. Rated as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Davis was listed as the fourth-best tight end prospect of the class of 2003.

College career Davis returns a kickoff during a 2005 game against the Clemson Tigers Davis enrolled in the University of Maryland, where he majored in studio art and played for the Maryland Terrapins football team. In 2003, Davis saw the most consistent action of any true freshman, playing in all thirteen contests. He had five receptions for 87 yards (11.8 avg) and led the kickoff coverage unit with eight solo tackles. In 2004, Davis played in almost every game, starting at H-back against Northern Illinois, Duke, Georgia Tech, Clemson, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest. He finished second on the team with 27 catches for 441 yards and had 16.3 avg and three touchdowns. [9] In 2005, Davis was a consensus All-American and All-Atlantic Coast Conference first-team selection. He was a finalist for the Mackey Award, given to the nation's top tight end. Davis started every game, leading the team with 51 receptions and the conference with 871 receiving yards (17.1 avg). [10] [11] His six touchdown catches rank tenth on the school's season-record list while his 51 receptions also rank tenth on Maryland's annual record chart while his 871 yards rank fifth. Davis was graded 82.5% for blocking consistency as he registered 67 knockdowns, including 18 blocks down field and had eight touchdown-resulting blocks. Davis was heavily involved with working out in college. He set school strength records (in spring of 2005) for a tight end in the bench press (460 pounds), power-clean (380 pounds), index (824 pounds) and squat (685 pounds). [12] Davis finished his collegiate career with 1,371 yards on 83 receptions for 16.5 yards per catch, the best average of any first round tight end ever and more yards than other previous high first round tight ends such as Tony Gonzalez, Jeremy Shockey, Kyle Brady, and Kellen Winslow II.

[16] He joined Kellen Winslow Jr. as the fourth highest tight end ever drafted after Ron Kramer, (Green Bay, fourth overall in 1957) Mike Ditka (Chicago, fifth overall in 1961), and Riley Odoms (Denver, fifth overall in 1972). Davis was the top tight end prospect in the 2006 NFL Draft, partially due to a strong performance at the scouting combine. [17] He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds. Davis also broad-jumped 10'08", nearly a foot farther than the next-best tight end, Marcedes Lewis. Vernon's first reception in the NFL was a 31-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Alex Smith, against the Arizona Cardinals on September 10, 2006. [18] Smith added a career-long 52-yard touchdown against the Green Bay Packers on December 10 with a short catch followed by a long run. [19] Davis missed six games due an injury he suffered on September 24, 2006. Davis sustained a hairline fracture to his left fibula, on a non-contact play against the Philadelphia Eagles, but returned on November 19 against the Seattle Seahawks. Davis finished his rookie year with 20 receptions for 265 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games and eight starts. [20] [21] 2007 season During Week 3, Davis was injured while attempting to catch a pass from Smith against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Davis sprained his right knee and missed the next two games. Despite his injury and the 49ers' offensive ineptitude, Davis bettered most of the numbers from his rookie season. Even though his yards per reception diminished, Davis finished his second professional season with 52 receptions for 509 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games and starts. [22] 2008 season In October 2008, after catching a seven-yard pass in the third quarter against the Seahawks, Davis slapped Seahawks safety Brian Russell in the facemask, resulting in a 15-yard penalty, causing head coach Mike Singletary to bench Davis and then send him to the locker room for the rest of the game. After the game, Singletary then spoke his famous "I want winners" rant. This resulted in Davis changing his attitude from himself, to the team. In the next game against the Arizona Cardinals, Davis leaped over a defender and caught a pass from quarterback Shaun Hill resulting in a touchdown, his first of the season. David finished the season with 31 receptions for 358 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games and starts. [23] Davis (left) with wide receiver Michael Crabtree in 2009 2009 season Through Week 11 of the 2009 season, Davis led the NFL with nine touchdown receptions, tied with wide receivers Larry Fitzgerald and Randy Moss. In the final game of the regular season, he tied the all-time record for most touchdown receptions for a tight end in a single season with 13, [24] sharing the record set by Antonio Gates of the San Diego Chargers in 2004; that record stood until 2011, when it was broken by Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots. [25] [26] Davis was selected to appear in his first Pro Bowl after recording 78 receptions for 965 yards and 13 touchdowns in 16 games and starts. [27] 2010 season Davis in 2010 Before the 2010 season, Davis was awarded a five-year contract extension for $37 million with $23 million guaranteed. The deal made him the league's highest paid tight end. [28] During a Week 6 17–9 victory over the Oakland Raiders in Week 6, Davis recorded his third straight game with a touchdown. [29] Davis finished the 2010 season with 56 receptions and 914 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 games and starts. [30] He was ranked 88th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2011. [31] 2011 season In 2011, Davis had 67 receptions for 792 yards with six touchdowns in 16 games and starts, helping the 49ers win the NFC West division and make the postseason for the first time since 2002. [32] In the playoffs in the Divisional Round against the New Orleans Saints, he had seven receptions for 180 yards, breaking Kellen Winslow's record (166) for most yards by a tight end in a playoff game. [33] Davis scored two touchdowns, and on the game-winning drive, he had a critical 47-yard reception that put the 49ers in a position to tie the game. With nine seconds remaining, Davis caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Alex Smith, now referred to as "Vernon Post". [34] Davis caught three passes for 112 yards and another two touchdowns against the New York Giants in the NFC Championship, but the 49ers lost 20–17 in overtime. [35] He was ranked 43rd by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2012.

[38] During Super Bowl XLVII, he had six receptions for 104 yards in the 34–31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. [39] Davis was ranked 38th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2013. [40] 2013 season Davis began the 2013 season much like the 2012 playoffs ended: as a trusted and reliable target for quarterback Colin Kaepernick, catching his first touchdown pass of the season in the first quarter of the first game, at Candlestick Park on September 8, 2013, against the Green Bay Packers. [41] Davis finished the 2013 season with 52 receptions for 850 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games and starts. [42] Davis added two touchdown receptions in the playoffs, one coming against the Green Bay Packers in a Wild Card Round victory, and another in a Divisional Round victory over the Carolina Panthers. [43] [44] He was named to the Pro Bowl. [45] Davis was ranked 51st by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2014. [46] 2014 season In 2014, Davis had 26 receptions for 245 yards and two touchdowns, both of which occurred in the season-opening 28–17 road victory over the Dallas Cowboys. [47] [48] He was dealing with ankle and back issues, which hindered him most of the time during the season. [49] Denver Broncos On November 2, 2015, Davis and a 2016 seventh-round draft pick were traded from the San Francisco 49ers to the Denver Broncos for sixth-round picks in 2016 and 2017. [50] [51] Davis' first game as a member of the Broncos was against his brother Vontae and the Indianapolis Colts. With Brock Osweiler as the starting quarterback, Davis had four receptions for 69 yards during a narrow Week 11 17–15 road victory over the Chicago Bears. [52] He added a combined four receptions for 35 yards in victories over the New England Patriots and San Diego Chargers. Davis had a season-high seven catches for 74 yards during a Week 14 15–12 loss to the Oakland Raiders. [53] On February 7, 2016, Davis won his first Super Bowl championship after the Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers by a score of 24–10 in Super Bowl 50. [54] Despite ending the Super Bowl with no receptions, [55] Davis made a key block downfield during a crucial 34-yard run by teammate C. J. Anderson, the longest rush of the game. [56] [57] Washington Redskins 2016 season Davis (right) in 2017 On March 31, 2016, Davis signed a one-year contract with his hometown Washington Redskins. [58] During a Week 6 27–20 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, Davis caught his first touchdown since 2014, helping the Redskins win their fourth straight game of the season. Davis had started the game in replacement of an injured Jordan Reed and finished with two receptions for 50 yards and the aforementioned touchdown.
