BOB ROSE 1 HOUR AGO

In an article by Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus, Davis is recognized as one of the NFL's top linebackers. PFF listed him among their three top-tier linebackers going into the 2023-24 season.

1. Fred Warner (49ers)
2. Lavonte David (Buccaneers)
3. Demario Davis (Saints)

Here's what Sikkema had to write about the PFF linebacker rankings:

Veterans Lavonte David, Demario Davis displaying no signs of decline: Both rank in Tier 1 after once again showing out in 2022 for the Buccaneers and Saints, respectively.

These three off-ball linebackers represent the best of the best. First and foremost, they bring great awareness and playmaking ability in coverage. They are what teams seek out of the modern-day linebacker at the second level for how they can anticipate and react to plays against the run and pass. These three also have longevity on their side with multiple years of high-end play.
