Vernon Davis Announces Retirement in Super Bowl Pregame Skit With Rob Gronkowski

With his former 49ers team playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday, veteran tight end Vernon Davis is chilling in Miami.

Davis joined Rob Gronkowski and James Harrison in a skit on FOX's Super Bowl pregame show to casually announce the end of his career.

"That's right, I'm retired," he said.

In the skit, Gronkowski, Harrison, Davis and Mrs. Cheryl, Gronk's former school nurse, enjoy retired life in Miami as "The Golden Gronks." They re-enact scenes from The Golden Girls' opening credits as the show's theme song plays.

Davis was a pending free agent after spending the last four seasons with the Redskins.
