Jul 1 2020 • 47 mins

The 26th edition of Whe're They At features NFL All-Pro Linebacker from the New Orleans Saints, Demario Davis. Demario is the first active athlete to be a guest on the podcast as he has been a major activist for social change, taking action against police brutality and systemic racism. During this offseason, he has traveled around the United States looking to facilitate talks between the police and citizens, creating and selling masks (www.56manofgod.com) to support the families of slain victims due to police brutality and racial targeting & promoting his Devoted Dreamers Foundation for children (www.devoteddreamers.org), helping them achieve success spiritually, mentally and physically. Demario has had an excellent 8-year NFL career (w/New York Jets, Cleveland Browns and currently with the Saints), which culminated with him being named to the 2019 NFL All-Pro team.
