New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis wasn’t always looked at as the top-tier linebacker he is today.
As a matter of fact, while with the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns, Davis was considered by some to be a liability in coverage and a gap-shooter in run defense.
All of his talent — the 4.49 40 yard dash and 38.5 inch vertical jump at 235 pounds at the NFL Combine — and elite leadership traits he’s always had, were going to waste on terrible teams.
