Thomas Davis – LB

Playing alongside Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis has thrived late in his career. The Panthers veteran totaled 76 tackles after topping the century mark in each of his last five seasons. Hampered by various injuries and a one-game suspension during the season, Davis could have equaled his previous totals given more opportunity.

Against New Orleans this season, Davis registered nine tackles but was limited in their most recent matchup. Now fully healthy, his impact could be extremely beneficial on defense against rookie running back Alvin Kamara.

In 13 NFL seasons, Davis has been to the playoffs five times, conference championship twice, but only one Super Bowl.
