What a year and how he is off to Miami as a first time Pro Bowl recipient of the NFC is gonna start the game actually and we did not an image studio on it. Product alive as -- chronicle conversation. Subject Vernon Davis that you but at that where we're all the dreadlocks -- by the way and take them off. It took them off later in the year you had twelve touchdowns in fifteen games before that last game of the year. In Saint Louis you shave until you're obviously not that superstitious. I'm not superstitious you know I wanted to save over had a dream. And the dream was. Pick in my era and I decided to woke up the next morning and I say or wouldn't shave my hair off you literally had a dream. Where you're gonna shave your head you and Hendry you've had a dreadlocks -- in college right. Ahead yes I do. So what are -- in in the dream you're just your -- -- what was it will. One a new look I want to switch it up half. I don't want to hear anymore I would show my face and focus. -- when people see me. Elements in my face -- they're going to be used to it because you're good looking guy to go to the Pro Bowl. So what did you do with the hair lot of guys and I'm sure there have been that much sure they they -- -- cancer researcher for the wigs to make the wings did you. Donate their -- at all. I just wanted to donated good. I'd look at them ahead and had a major it's this is how it played NFL have admitted that and a heck of throughout the year I've been didn't you Madrid's -- on -- life into their money that way. There that happens you have -- Jack in the pro bowlers back to go to frank Gore's gonna go I don't he said that happened to him and his career but. The tell me about this season because everybody talks about the the maturation of Vernon Davis in the middle last year and coach singletary. Three to the sideline and told -- to get your company go back into that whole deal. Did that change you I mean why did it all come together for you this season do you think. I think because because -- he stayed on me had a grew up. There when I first got here was more about me then the team and I have to understand that it's not just about me is not just about Vernon. Is the most media and the team is about us is -- and I just had to understand that was jug and one thing about coming into the league you have to find yourself. And I was got to just searching and this. Try to promise over that's what I didn't echo seemed to help me. It's funny after you stop thinking about me first. All of a sudden you play so much better and you put up these salacious numbers and go to the Pro Bowl and it's funny the way. We try to become part of a team in individually UBU do you reach I should never reach for force a player. That's correct you do. When Europe when you put others. Before yourself then things open up for you -- UC blessings then. You know a lot happens to you and that's what I did no cursing attorneys are very emotional and spiritual guy and -- I was does that mean he he's always been a -- back -- wanna do good he's always in my face that I don't have a problem with -- that's what you need. You need someone steal and you. And that's what he's about. Area are -- one of the Pro -- but you're gonna start the game and I got a late late in a year I'm looking at your number's and think he's got to go but. I see Jason Witten. I see Tony Gonzales and I'm thinking maybe that -- only take a couple of tight as a Pro -- And they always great numbers this year in Dallas Clark obviously and Antonio Gates over the AFC it is a great era of tight end play but what were you surprised. That you beat out Tony Gonzales he didn't make the team and he got the nod to start the game over Jason Witten. God I was surprised I was surprised this you know everything happened for me this year is what I expected. -- I've been playing well and play hard since I've been here and you don't usually people looking at the beach you more when you put up numbers. But you gotta put up the numbers when I was still doing well and and the coaches saw that unless -- a Pro Bowl alternate only had a twenty something catches at the time. But I was still recognize from a blocking so. To me is about. The overall play you know the media try to do well and everything I do to our -- is blocked gain. We'll -- in both pretty much whatever it is -- -- try to do well. Then you're going to be joining very shortly that the best of the best you're going to Miami Florida and for the Pro Bowl and for talks out about Frank -- we just found out a little while another frank Gore's gonna make -- for second time in his career Stephen Jackson the great Saint Louis ram is not gonna play the game due to injuries or franks gonna go. That's going to be helpful because Frank's been there before and he already knows he knows South Beach pretty well don't go nowhere where you -- should be hang perfect. Today he will he remain a forum are gonna -- would schoolmate played entertaining be -- Miami Hurricanes went to Coral Gables. High school down there never played there before his career figures -- pro when you guys for their recently was hurt couldn't play the game against Miami so so he's jacked up at. What's that could be like for you to go and be there was some of the biggest stars in the sport and really soak in that that I -- an all star obviously.

The Super Bowl in between the championship games the Super Bowl -- gonna play it on the mainland. How does that change the dynamic shooting for you guys going over their depth to obviously play a football game that you wanna have a little fun and celebrate whichever this year. We do you wanna have -- Another gas at a plant in the Super Bowl. I'm sure they wanna play in the Pro Bowl as well but due to that they're they're not able to. You know play in the Pro Bowl because they have this they have to be ready for a Super Bowl coaches don't want them to get hurt have to give themselves but. Nothing that's probably the only paying.
