Haven't seen this posted on here before.
I really don't see what Davis is trying to accomplish with this. I liked him before but not anymore. Good luck with Smith throwin you the ball Davis, you can maybe catch 2 TD's. Makes me appreciate Hawk even more.

Green Bay - Tight end Vernon Davis' slam against the Green Bay Packers last week was brushed off by general manager Ted Thompson.
Davis was selected by the San Francisco with the sixth selection in the National Football League draft. He was relieved not to be chosen by the Packers at No. 5.
"It's a pleasure to be here," Davis told reporters at a news conference the next day at 49ers headquarters. "I've always wanted to come here. I was sitting at the table yesterday and Green Bay was up and I was telling my agent, 'I hope Green Bay doesn't take me. I definitely don't want to go there.'
"But the 49ers came around and it was just amazing knowing I was going to be a 49er."
The Packers chose linebacker A.J. Hawk after Thompson carefully weighed the merits of taking him or Davis.
Thompson said Davis, who grew up in Washington, D.C., didn't offer any reluctance about playing for the Packers during the team's interview with him in February at the combine .
"We don't take any particular offense to that," Thompson said Sunday. "People say things. If we had taken him he would have been happy coming here. But I can't speak for him."
