Vernon Davis Is Very Serious About Minicamp

Vernon Davis was the sixth-overall pick in the 2006 draft. His rookie season was marred by injury, but he managed 52 receptions for 509 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games last year, which is even more impressive given that he was apart of the league's worst offense and that he makes a crapload of mistakes.

Which, along with not catching as many passes as he thinks he should, might help explain this, from the 49ers first minicamp practice. From the Press Democrat's Matt Maiocco:

[Parys] Haralson and Vernon Davis got into a nice little dustup during the first session of the team drills. Nolan said Haralson was to blame, but Davis would've probably been kicked out of the game. Davis ended up tossing Haralson's helmet.

"I didn't mean to toss the helmet," Davis said.

Davis admitted he got a little emotional. He said he was acting out of frustration. When I jokingly asked if it was frustration built up from last year when he didn't get the ball thrown his way a lot, Davis seemed to take the question seriously. "I don't know," he said. "I don't know how to answer that question."

Got that, Mike Martz? Simplify the playbook and build the offense around Davis.
