Demario Davis, the New Orleans Saints linebacker, has once again been undervalued in Pro Football Focus' recent positional rankings. Despite a consistently strong performance throughout his career, he finds himself ranked 21st among NFL linebackers heading into the 2025 season, placing him in the fifth tier of a six-tier ranking system. This ranking comes on the heels of the Saints' disappointing 5-12 finish last year, which has led to a broader narrative of neglect for the team in national discussions.

Davis' ranking reflects a history of being overlooked, particularly given his significant contributions to the Saints' defense. His ability to impact games through tackles, leadership, and versatility has been pivotal in previous seasons, yet he continues to be placed lower than many peers who may not have achieved similar accolades or consistency.
