Demario Davis Ranked Among NFL's Best, Per PFF

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.

I've come across a limited number of web hacks that think that Demario should be on his last legs. Far from it. He's playing as good now as he ever has and we shouldn't be surprised if that continues for several more years.

And no major career injuries if I recall correctly.

You are correct. He's played 16 regular season games every season of his career except for last season when he played 17!

Through Saints history there has been a lot of talent at LB. Even when Payton ignored the position in the draft.

Yup. More than one way to find talent. Lofton and Vilma, as well.

Speaking of Lofton, when my older son was coaching a USA Swiming team in Metairie, the parents of one of his senior swimmers found out his mother (my wife) had washed a jersey that he had gotten autographed by several Saints players during a training camp practice in Jackson, MS years earlier. It turned out the family lives next door to Curtis Lofton and told him about the incident. Lofton signed a game jersey he had and told them to give it to my son as a replacement.

One of the classiest moves ever. We had it framed for him and he has it mounted on the wall of his home in New Orleans now. One of his most prized possessions.

Once in a while our pro scouting department finds the ideal player. Demario Davis is a fine example of finding free agents who fit the system and bring high character to the locker room.
