With a lot of buzz this season around the Philadelphia Eagles team to not only win the NFC East this season but make a Super Bowl run, Cornerback Darius Slay welcomes the pressure and says the team is ready to make a run this year.
From Juco to 4x Pro-Bowler, Philly's cornerback Darius Slay, joins The
Pivot to talk about the Eagles this season, personal goals of legacy and hall of fame and how being a young father shaped the man he is today.
At the age of 13 years old, Darius' mother gave birth to him and he was raised mostly by his grandma but extremely close with his mother throughout his life to this day. Darius, a young father himself, expresses how his upbringing of community and love taught him the importance of how it takes a village to raise a child and helped him transition into being a father. Darius opens up to the guys that without his son, he wouldn't be where he is today because becoming a young father served as motivation and helped change his course from getting in trouble, jail time to hearing his name called in the 2013 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions.
As the conversation moves toward football, Darius talks about how making it to the NFL gave him the opportunity to right the wrongs of some of his off the field troubles and the resources to help give back to the community that raised him and that taught him about life. Ryan asks how he feels about the NFC East rival losing Dak Prescott early and how it affects their mindset in the division. Darius, who is friends with the Cowboys quarterback from college days, hates to see a team lose its heartbeat but also is disappointed since he misses his chance to pick his old friend off this year.
Ranking as one of the most elite cornerbacks in the league, Darius talks about his journey from Detroit to Philadelphia and how it hasn't always been smooth but hoping that strong leadership helps lead his current team on a path to a championship. Impressed by Quarterback Jalen Hurts and his transcension to the Eagles leader, Darius thinks that Jalen is the one who can keep the offense firing this year and Darius says the defense is ready to match the offensive efforts. Darius feels the team has all the pieces in place to be a super bowl contender and gets goosebumps thinking about the team's potential.
Ahead of Monday Night's Matchup against Minnesota, Darius knows he has his work cut out for him facing off against one of the NFL's top wide receiver in Justin Jefferson- Darius says Jefferson is the 2nd best receiver in the league to Devante Adams and that he respects the explosiveness of his game. "I get paid millions of dollars to play a kid game, and I love it".

Major props to Darius Slay mom gave birth to him at 13, he himself had a child at 15 and still managed to make it to the league. Another awesome interview fellas 👏🏾👏🏾

One of the most underrated corners in the last 10yrs! He’s got a good career!

Man it was good to see this interview with someone from the hometown! I know his dad and his family personally and it was great to see him be himself! Salute to the Pivot for this one!!
-
Getting Slay from the Lions was such a huge move. Came on the heels of losing out on the bidding war for Byron Jones who signed with Miami. Just 3 days later Howie makes the deal with Detroit to bring him over for a 3rd and 5th round pick. He's been such a great teammate since he came to Philly. Was really happy to see him get the captain patch for the first time in his career. Despite the love he gets from his peers I still think he's one of the most underrated at his position by the general public.

-
I swear Ryan has some sort of relationship with EVERYONE! 😂😂😂

A lot of people don't know why Slay took so long to get to the league. Getting out of Brunswick is no small task.
-
Slay played at the same Juco I played at: ICC. This man is a beast.
-
When Darius brought up DK I was rolling 🤣🤣🤣🤣
-
Slay ain't only a great player he's a solid man! Miss him here in Detroit. That man used to go to a high school football game, that the fans would choose, EVERY Friday during the season. Lil ahit like that goes a long way to these kids. Ball out Slay 💯
-
PIVOT FOR THE WIN!!!!! Great job. I am so thankful for the podcast. Ryan, Channing, and Fred knocked it out the park. So nice to hear a different side of Mr Slay.
-
Here after Slay just balled out vs the vikings 🦅🦅🦅
-
Great interview. A grandmother at 28ish. Salute to him and his family. Not the most ideal circumstances, and they say it takes a village. It seems that village was well connected for the betterment of his mother and his child
