Most know Vernon Davis as a two-time Pro Bowl tight end. Davis hung up his football cleats in a unique way, announcing his retirement in a commercial during Super Bowl LIV in 2020.
For his latest act, former NFL TE Vernon Davis is going up against Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman in a thriller.
The Washington Commanders are just a day away from playing their first football game under their new permanent name. Even though it's been six months since the franchise made the change, there's still some mixed feedback from fans, players and critics about the name change.
As discombobulated as the Washington Commanders wide receiver position seems to be, the tight ends are a little island of stability. Not since the days of Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis have the Commanders (yeah – that will take some getting used to) come into a season with such a clearly defined tight end group.
No team in the NFL entered the 2020 season with more questions and concerns at tight end than the Washington Football Team. Washington actually had big money invested at the position in 2019 but saw both Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis combine for four games played.
Earlier this week, Vernon Davis mapped out his plan to "go Hollywood.'' Well, that didn't take long. The former Washington Football Team Pro Bowl tight end has been named as the "voice" of this year's ESPYS.
Vernon Davis enjoyed a 14-year NFL career before retiring after the 2019 season. A former top-10 pick of the San Francisco 49ers, Davis played his final four NFL seasons with his hometown Washington Football Team.
He gives back to the community every chance he gets and takes pride in making a positive impact.

It's not too much of a secret that the San Francisco 49ers are likely going to be looking to sell off some veterans prior to the trade deadline late this month.
