The countdown to the New Orleans Saints 2024 regular season kickoff is underway as we highlight every player who wears the corresponding jersey number. With now 56 days remaining before the Saints’ Week 1 game against the Carolina Panthers, linebacker Demario Davis is today’s Saints Player of the Day:

Demario Davis has been one of the most decorated Saints players since his arrival in 2018. At age 35, Davis is still one of the game’s most elite players at his position. After securing his fifth consecutive All-Pro selection as well as his second Pro Bowl nod, Davis has shown no signs of slowing down.

The Saints made sure to add some depth behind Davis this offseason at the linebacker position with the signings of Willie Gay Jr. and Khaleke Hudson while adding Jaylan Ford in the draft. These signings along with the presence of fellow starting linebacker Pete Werner relieves a little bit of pressure off Davis who has been the mainstay for so many years.
