Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports 49ers' offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye said he wants to utilize Davis’ vertical speed to create problems for defenses. He wants his contributions in the passing game to come as a receiver - not a blocker.
“He’s also an excellent in-line blocker,” Raye said, “but we would like to use him not as much in blocking in pass situations as we would running routes. So we would like to put him in positions where he is a matchup problem for the defense . . . provided the protection that we have will allow us to do that.”
