Linebacker Demario Davis | New Orleans Saints 2022 season recap

New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis completed his 11th NFL season, and one of his most productive, in 2022. The Saints’ Man of the Year, which qualifies him for the prestigious Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, started all 17 games and led the team with 109 tackles. Additionally, he totaled a career-high 6.5 sacks and had an interception, a fumble recovery, six passes defensed, 10 tackles for loss and eight quarterback hits. For the first time in his career, Davis, who played every snap on defense, was selected to play in the Pro Bowl.

It didn’t come in a victory, but Davis was monstrous in New Orleans’ 30-26 loss to Cincinnati: Nine tackles, two sacks, two tackles for loss and two quarterback hits.
