NFL career
He is the all-time leader in consecutive NFL playoff games (five) with at least one interception.
Davis was a pivotal player in the 1994 NFC Championship game versus the Dallas Cowboys when he made two key plays early in the game. First, a 44-yard interception return for a touchdown on the game's third play from scrimmage, and a forced fumble on Michael Irvin that led to another 49ers touchdown. These plays helped the 49ers beat the previous 2-time champion Cowboys to advance to Super Bowl XXIX. The 49ers would go on to beat the San Diego Chargers 49–26. In 1995, he went to the Pro Bowl and helped lead the 49ers to the number one ranked defense. In 1996, he became a free agent and signed with the Carolina Panthers, helping them reach the NFC title game only to lose to eventual Super Bowl XXXI champion Green Bay Packers. After playing for one year with the Denver Broncos, in 2002, he ended his career with the Detroit Lions.
Broadcasting career
In the 2000s, Davis worked as a color analyst for the 49ers during the preseason on KPIX-TV, and also analyzed on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area. In 2011, he was hired as the color analyst for the 49ers radio broadcasts, joining Ted Robinson in the booth, and replacing Gary Plummer. He was also the co-host of "The Drive with Tierney and Davis" on 95.7 The Game in San Francisco.
In 2012, he became a co host/analyst for the new weekday morning show on NFL Network titled NFL AM. He continued to serve as the 49ers' radio analyst through the 2013 season.
He currently works for Fox Sports 1, appearing on shows such as Speak for Yourself and The Herd with Colin Cowherd and pre and post-game analyst for the Los Angeles Rams.
