Demario Davis has established himself as a Pro Bowl linebacker and community advocate over his impactful NFL career. Throughout his career, he has consistently demonstrated leadership both on and off the field. After an impactful collegiate career at Arkansas State University where he led the Red Wolves in tackles with 80 during his sophomore year and earned various all-conference honors in his junior and senior seasons, Demario Davis was selected by the New York Jets in the third round (77th overall) of the 2012 NFL Draft. Davis immediately signed a four-year contract worth $2.81 million and quickly established his presence, making his first NFL career start in his rookie 2012 season and finishing with 36 combined tackles and a fumble recovery across 16 games.
Further solidifying his long-term commitment and value, Davis signed another contract extension with the New Orleans Saints in 2024, securing his tenure with the team through 2025. This extension follows a remarkable streak of durability, as Davis notably missed his first career game due to injury in 2024, highlighting an unprecedented stretch of consistent availability throughout his decorated NFL career.
