Davis thanks 49ers for giving him 'head start' on life

Offensive tackle Anthony Davis on Saturday thanked the 49ers for giving him the opportunity to play in the NFL.

The 49ers traded up two spots in the first round of the 2010 draft to select Davis with the No. 11 overall pick.

Davis was the first offensive tackle the 49ers had chosen in the top 20 of the draft since the 1970 AFL/NFL merger.

Davis tweeted his appreciation to the 49ers, including CEO Jed York:

“I appreciate the 49ers for letting me live out one of my dreams and giving me a head start on Life.
