EP 29 // DARIUS SLAY ON DEMANDING EAGLES FANS, PLAYING IN JUCO & COVERING CALVIN JOHNSON IN PRACTICE

After several years with the Detroit Lions, standout cornerback Darius Slay was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles and signed a lucrative three-year deal. On this episode of “Getcha Popcorn Ready,” Darius joins T.O. and Hatch to talk about how he’s going to win over demanding and vocal Philadelphia fans, his lack of recognition despite putting up impressive numbers in Detroit, why he gave up on being a receiver to focus on playing defensive back, his experience working his way up from junior college to Mississippi State to the NFL and the adjustments each leap required, what it was like covering the great Calvin “Megatron” Johnson in practice every day as a rookie, the one NFL receiver who’s gotten under his skin, his top five cornerbacks of all time, and more. Plus, it gets spicy when Darius and T.O. discuss what would happen if they went one-on-one. Yee!
