He is just two seasons removed from recording 52 receptions for 850 yards and 13 touchdowns, which earned him second team All-Pro honors with the 49ers.
A 2006 first round selection by San Francisco out of Maryland, Davis has 461 career receptions for 5,841 yards and 55 touchdowns in his 10-year NFL career.
