Broncos TE Vernon Davis: Return to Levi’s Stadium is ‘surreal’
Current Denver Broncos and former San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davistold reporters that returning to Levi’s Stadium for Super Bowl 50 feels “surreal.”
“I was like, ‘Wow, we’re actually going back to Levi’s Stadium,’” Davis said Thursday. “It couldn’t get any better that. It couldn’t get any better than this. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’m very pleased, thankful and excited all at the same time for an opportunity to go in and experience this year’s Super Bowl in Levi’s Stadium.”
