Demario Davis ranked a top-50 player by Pro Football Network
Pro Football Network released their top-100 players of 2024 list, and New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis cracked the top half of that list. The veteran was the third linebacker on the list only behind San Francisco 49er Fred Warner and Baltimore Ravens Roquan Smith. This is extremely high praise for the veteran.

The veterans were only separated by three spots. Davis came in at No. 21 and Mathieu wasn’t far behind at No. 24. Davis has been a common appearance on rankings lately.
