Summary
Demario Davis is in his 6th year as a linebacker in the NFL. He was selected by the Jets in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft. After four seasons in New York, he signed with the Browns in the offseason of 2016.
On June 1st, Davis was traded back to New York and is now once again starting at linebacker for the Jets at Met Life Stadium.
Through 3 games in the 2017 season, Demario is second in the NFL in tackles with 32 and he helped the Jets win their first game of the season in Week 3 over Miami 20-6.
But it was what happened prior to that win over the Dolphins that had everyone talking.
The comments from President Donald Trump regarding NFL players protesting the National Anthem struck a cord with the league's teams and players.
On this episode of the podcast, Demario Davis will talk about standing and locking arms with teammates during the National Anthem on Sunday, what went on in the team meeting the night before, why this has caused such division in our country and what the plans are for him and the Jets going forward.
