He won a big playoff game thanks to some big time catches. He's become the signature offensive weapon on a team that is expected to contend for a Super Bowl this season.
What makes Vernon Davis so great? Well, he embodies the spirit of the Marine Corps with his offensive-minded abilities. The Marine Corps decided to highlight this in their series regarding the Core of Sports.
