Demario Davis, LB

Demario Davis is no secret or surprise to this list. He has held down one of the most fluid and turned over positions on the Saints — the linebackers. He leads the Saints linebacking corps from the OLB position and is arguably (before Kwon Alexander) the only viable linebacker on the team.

Davis currently leads the entire team in tackles on the season with 85. He has led the team in tackles going on two years straight now. He also adds four sacks (No. 3 on the team) and 10.5 tackles for a loss (tied for No. 2 on the team).

He does all of that from the linebacker position. He is one of the most versatile linebackers as well. He can drop back into coverage as evident by his four pass deflections on the year (tied for No. 7 on the team and the first none-secondary player).

He can also blitz with a furry as evident by being top five in all of those categories. Demario Davis is the story of what a second chance can be like. He took it and ran with it and has made his time in New Orleans unforgettable. He will go down in history.
