New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis spent part of his week off in New York receiving an award for his involvement in social justice.
Davis, who previously played for the New York Jets, received the In Pursuit of Justice award from the Bronx Defenders at a gala last Thursday (Oct. 12).
According to the Bronx Defenders website, the group is a "public defender nonprofit that is radically transforming how low-income people in the Bronx are represented in the justice system and, in doing so, is transforming the system itself."
Davis said he partnered with the Bronx Defenders for a handful of events last year while he was with the Jets, including a visit to the New York capital in Albany.
