Jason Aeron Walter David (born June 12, 1982 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) is a American football cornerback for the New Orleans Saints of the NFL.
David grew up in Covina, California, before attending Washington State University on a football scholarship and majoring in communications. He was a fourth round draft pick by the Indianapolis Colts in 2004. David stands 5 foot 8 inches tall and weighs 172 pounds. In 2004, he had 52 total tackles, 4 interceptions, and one forced fumble. Currently a restricted free agent, on April 18th, 2007 David signed a 4-year offer sheet with the New Orleans Saints that the Colts had 7 days to match. Indianapolis declined to match New Orleans' offer, so on April 25, David became a member of the Saints. David is competing for the Saints' #1 cornerback spot. In his first game as a Saint (and against his former team, the Colts) David gave up three touchdowns to the Colts receiving duo of Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne, although he did return a fumble for a touchdown.
Jason often appeared in NFL Total Access or SportsCenter in interviews about the Indianapolis Colts and he often was the "spokesman" for the Indianapolis Colts defense. Both of his parents are Guyanese.
