As one of the most consistent linebackers in the NFL, Demario is a steady force on defense and registers 90 plus tackles every season after his rookie year. In 2017, he set a career high of 135 tackles and five sacks with the Jets and became a member and captain of the New Orleans Saints in 2018. Demario continues to make his mark on the field and was named to the All-Pro Team in 2019. He was named the Saint’s nominee for the 2020 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award for his dedication to his work off the field. In 2021, he was awarded the Bart Starr Award for exemplifying outstanding character on the field, at home, and in the community, as voted on by his fellow NFL players.
