(7.2, t-13th). He was named the 2011 winner of The Roger Zatkoff Award as the team's top linebacker. Professional career On April 29, 2013, following the 2013 NFL Draft, Demens signed an undrafted free agent contract with the Arizona Cardinals for 3 years and $1,485,000. Demens survived the final roster cuts to make the 53-man roster, but when the Cardinals were awarded two waiver claims, they released Demens to make room on the roster. Although the Cardinals had three inside linebackers on the roster — Karlos Dansby, Jasper Brinkley and rookie Kevin Minter — they added Demens to the practice squad. In 2014, he began the season on the team's official active roster. Demens was lost for the season after an October 11 ACL injury for the 2015 Cardinals against the Detroit Lions. Demens was cut by the Cardinals prior to the 2016 season.
