Demario Davis Has A Nose For Shutting Down Drives
5 years agoNew Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis was ranked by Pro Football Focus as 2019's second-best linebacker. He had 13 trips inside an opposing quarterback's five-foot halo (four sacks) and the fifth-fewest yards per rush allowed among linebackers when in a runner's path. Davis was also accredited with the most stopped overall drives and touchdowns among linebackers last season. The 31-year-old secured first-team All-Pro honors by recording 111 tackles (87 combined), 11 tackles for loss, one interception and 12 passes defensed last year. Heading into his third year in the Big Easy, Davis has over 100 combined tackles in each of the last three seasons, including 14 sacks over that span. He's easily a top-15 fantasy linebacker in IDP settings.
