49ers’ Anthony Davis given fresh start despite recent, rocky past

SANTA CLARA -- Anthony Davis breezed through the 49ers' conditioning test on Saturday and began training camp Sunday in the best shape he's been in.

How much better?

Davis, who ended a one-year retirement last week, said he weighed as much as 370 pounds in 2014, the last time he was on the 49ers practice field. On Sunday, he registered 332 pounds on the scale, drawing raves from coaches and teammates.

"You can tell just watching him move around yesterday, he’s worked," coach Chip Kelly said. "It’s not like he woke up one day last week and said, ‘Hey, I think I want to play football again,’ and hasn’t been doing anything.
