Demario Davis's skill set aligns perfectly with a dynamic 4-3 defense built on speed and versatility at the linebacker position, emphasizing sideline-to-sideline pursuit.
He can immediately contribute as a rotational weakside linebacker and core special teamer, with a ceiling to develop into a starting three-down 'Will' linebacker with impactful play against both run and pass.
A traditional two-gap 3-4 defense that asks its linebackers to consistently take on and shed blocks at the point of attack for run defense.
Davis's exceptional speed and athleticism make him a prototype for modern NFL defenses seeking explosive, rangy linebackers capable of covering ground and making plays from various alignments.
Selected #77 overall in Round 3 of the 2012 NFL Draft by New York Jets out of Arkansas State.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
