Many remember the hit Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor landed on then-49ers tight end Vernon Davis in Week 16 of the 2012 season, when the then-budding Seattle-San Francisco rivalry was really getting fun.

For Davis, though, there was nothing fun about the play that made Seahawks opponents realize running wheel routes against that defense was — and still is — a bad idea.

Davis, 33 and now playing for Washington, was asked Saturday during an appearance with kids from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington about the hardest hit he has ever taken. His answer, via Master Tesfatsion of the Washington Post:

One can only assume the hit to which Davis refers is the vicious blow he took from Chancellor in late December that season.

The play came as San Francisco, down 14-0, was threatening to score toward the end of the first quarter. Quarterback Colin Kaepernick lofted the pass to Davis, who had beaten linebacker coverage and who could not have anticipated what was coming his way as he tried to catch the ball.

"It was crazy," Davis told the kids, who found the NFL player's recollection highly amusing. "He hit me so hard, I just got up, I didn't know where I was going ... kind of lost my memory a little bit. I just didn't know what happened.

'Wow I just got hit by a very big man.'"

Although his hit was clean, Chancellor was flagged for a 10-yard personal foul penalty on the play. The 49ers, though, failed to score — David Akers' field goal attempt a few plays later was blocked by Red Bryant and returned by Richard Sherman 90 yards for a touchdown. Seattle went on to win, 42-13.

Davis played more than two more seasons for the 49ers before he was traded to the Broncos in 2015. He caught 44 passes for 583 yards and two touchdowns last year in his first season in Washington, which signed him as a free agent last March.
