49ers’ Anthony Davis geht mit erst 25 in Pension

Gestern war es soweit – Der San Francisco 49ers OT Anthony Davis gab völlig unerwartet bekannt, dass er in Pension gehe.

Somit ging gestern für die 49ers der Verlust von Stammpersonal weiter. Es gingen in dieser Offseason ja bereits Willis, Borland und Justin Smith in Pension.

#49ers OT Anthony Davis on retiring: “I’m simply doing what’s best for my body as well as my mental health at this time in my life.”

 Davis ist somit der vierte 49ers Spieler, der in dieser Offseason in Pension geht. Der erst 25-jährige Davis war im 2010er Draft der elfte Overall Pick.

Gegenüber NFL.com’s Chris Wesseling gab Davis ein längeres Statement ab.

After a few years of thought, I’ve decided it will be best for me to take a year or so away from the NFL. This will be a time for me to allow my Brain and Body a chance to heal. I know many won’t understand my decision, that’s ok.

I hope you too have the courage to live your life how you planned it when day dreaming to yourself growing up. Your Life is Your dream and you have the power to control that dream. I’m simply doing what’s best for my body as well as my mental health at this time in my life.

Sincerely,
Anthony Davis

After suffering a concussion last season, Anthony Davis missed the next 4 games and told reporters it was as if he was in a “white fog.”
