Former 49ers TE Vernon Davis reflects on Mike Singletary’s press conference in new memoir

Longtime San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis has written a memoir, Playing Ball, that reflects on his journey to the NFL and how he has adjusted to life since retiring in 2020. Davis, who was the sixth overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft by the Niners and spent the majority of his career with San Francisco, talks about his tenure with the 49ers, including his famous back-and-fourth with then-head coach Mike Singletary that resulted in his “Can’t win with him,” speech. The book was officially released today by Kensington Publishing Corp.
