New Orlean Saints linebacker Demario Davis is keeping his eyes on God despite being sidelined due to a recent injury. Who Dat Dish reported, “Since August 5th, the New Orleans Saints have been without arguably the best player on the entire team in linebacker extraordinaire, Demario Davis. The stud defender has been sidelined with a calf injury but has since returned to the practice field, albeit in a limited capacity.

Regardless of success or injury, Davis puts God first. He shared in a photo shared on the NFL’s Instagram, “I’m a tank-filling guy, so I like to fill up my tanks. I need a full tank spiritually. I need a full tank mentally. I need a full tank physically. When my tank is full, I’m ready to take on that adversity.” Davis’ NFL journey started on the Arkansas State football team. He was a standout linebacker and earned multiple honors during his college career.

After college, he was selected by the New York Jets in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft, playing with them from 2012 to 2015 and establishing himself as a key contributor on defense. In 2016, Davis signed with the Cleveland Browns as a free agent. However, he was traded back to the Jets during the same offseason. He continued to be a reliable and impactful linebacker for the Jets, known for his field leadership and tackling ability.

In 2018, he signed a three-year contract with the New Orleans Saints. During his time there, he’s emerged as a fan favorite and one of the team’s defensive leaders. Davis is known for his versatility, high level of play, and strong presence in the locker room. Many also recognize his distinctive “Man of God” headband, which he wears during games, as a personal expression of his faith. Despite his successful football career, his priority is faith and family.

In a recent Instagram picture with his family, Davis wrote, “Psalm 103:17-18, ‘But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children, to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments.’” Davis and his wife, Tamela, also host a podcast called “Tea with Tamela.”
