Why former Bulldog Darius Slay will revamp the Philadelphia Eagles’ secondary

A reliable lockdown corner is vital in today’s NFL, as the Eagles have found a gem in former Bulldog star Darius “Big Play” Slay.

In addition to his ability to lock down an entire side of the field, Slay is a pure athlete and ballhawk. A nine-year veteran, Slay knows his way around the game. The Eagles’ secondary has been in dire need of a leader. Slay not only checks that box on the field but off it as well.

Amongst a defensive backfield composed of rising young talent, Slay is the ideal veteran. Off the field, Slay is a vocal locker room presence and can galvanize the troops when needed.
