New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis took time after his team beat the Jacksonville Jaguars to seek out rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew, a fellow graduate of Brandon High School in a small town of the same name in Mississippi. Davis and Minshew had expressed mutual respect in the days leading into the game, acknowledging their shared background and the difficult paths they each took to reach the NFL. After Davis’s Saints took the victory on Sunday, he and Minshew exchanged a few words before swapping jerseys in a great show of sportsmanship.
Davis addressed his relationship with Minshew during his postgame media availability.
