Well for the record, the San Francisco 49ers ' top draft pick posted four 100-yard performances last year, topping out at 158 yards and a touchdown on just five receptions during a 31-19 loss against West Virginia. Of course, it helps when one of your five grabs goes 73 yards to the house. He also torched ACC rivals Clemson, West Virginia, and NC State to the tune of 140, 139, and 108 yards respectively, grabbing a touchdown pass in each contest.

These are big stats for the big TE...how much of the 49ers offense is gonig to go through him in the new year?

I can see him leading the team in receptions and gaining 1,000 yards, easily. Alex Smith will need a good reliable check-down guy, and Davis sounds like he's just the ticket.

That much huh?...he's a rookie and there is Eric Johnson there already...I think I would pencil him in at 40-50 catches 600-750 yards max...but hey...what do I know...haven't seen the game paln yet...

It just a gut feeling, and its probably a little high to expect out of a rookie. I think he'll be the primary TE for sure, though. You don't a guy #6 to sit behind Eric Johnson.
