The New Orleans Saints did not have a great season, but it wasn’t all bad. Players like Demario Davis solidified their talents once again with great seasons. Davis was given recognition this week when CBS Sports’ Tyler Sullivan named him the Saints’ MVP for this season.
Davis has been elite since getting to New Orleans, one of the franchise’s best free agent signings ever. Now, he gets his second straight and overall career Pro Bowl as well.
This season Davis led the team (by far) in tackles with 121 total. He was second on the team in sacks with 6.5. Not only is he a leader on the field, but he is clearly the team’s leader in the locker room as well. His presence was much needed after the retirement of Drew Brees.
CBS Sports wasn’t alone in viewing Davis as the Saints’ MVP, as there was a near-consensus among our staff when we handed out our season awards. He’s an impactful player on the field and a positive influence in the locker room. What more can you ask for?
