Summary

Vernon Davis is an NFL legend. Raised by his grandmother, Vernon was the oldest sibling and took that responsibility seriously. After attending the University of Maryland, Vernon was drafted in the first round to the San Francisco 49ers and is now entering his 14th year in the NFL. But his story doesn't end there... Vernon has worked hard to define himself as more than a football player, getting involved in numerous philanthropic activities and business ventures all while pursuing his passion of acting.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome back. You are listening to Redirected a show where we sit down with celebrities,
0:12.1	athletes and entrepreneurs to hear about their career pivots and how they've dealt with life's
0:17.2	unexpected events. My name is Andrew East and the reason I started this show is because I have
0:23.2	experienced several career redirections myself. I graduated undergraduate with all intention of
0:29.0	starting a non-profit organization to bring water to people around the world,
0:33.6	ended up getting picked up by the National Football League and have since started an online

0:48.5	record these conversations to share with anybody who might be looking to make a career change or
0:54.5	going through one of those themselves. Today we sit down with Vernon Davis who is a 13-year NFL
