Saints Roster Breakdown: Which five linebackers will crack 53-man roster?

Number Four: Demario Davis

Demario Davis is not only a lock to make the New Orleans Saints’ final 53-man roster, but he is also going to be making a strong case for Defensive Player of the Year in 2020 as well. Davis, 31, has proven he not only has what it takes to still ball out in the NFL but do it as one of the best at the position in the NFL.

Demario Davis is a model of consistency and pure dominance for the Saints at the linebacker position. Davis has never missed a game in his eight-year NFL career up to this point and likely will continue that stretch in 2020.

Davis is also a leader on the Saints and picked up the slack that Drew Brees was forced to leave behind when a thumb injury sidelined him for five games in 2019. Davis will likely resume his defensive captain role once again in 2020.

Davis’ great 2019 season set him over the top and saw him earn his first career First Team All-Pro award and the linebacker will look to repeat that title in 2020.
