More Quotes from Vernon Davis:
They all tell me theyd love to have me. I feel good about being labeled the new breed of tight end.Vernon Davis
Antonio Gates is a good player. He's someone I have watched throughout my college career and I like the way he plays. But there are some things when I look at the guy, he does a little better than myself. And (there are) things I do better than him as far as speed, things like that.

I feel good about being labeled the new breed of tight end. That's what it is, when you got a guy who can do more than catch the ball, to get extra yardage after catching the ball and make guys miss.
