Giants' fan favorite sends moving message to youngsters amid Brian Daboll turmoil

There's no player on this New York Giants roster who has been through more with the team than Darius Slayton. The veteran wideout has been here through three coaching regimes, multiple benchings, and ongoing trade rumors that nearly resulted in him being sent to the Steelers before last year's trade deadline.

Yet through all of that drama, Slayton has remained a model teammate and leader within the Giants' locker room. So after Big Blue fired Brian Daboll and promoted Mike Kafka to interim head coach, he made sure to let his teammates know they shouldn't stop fighting for their roster spot and this team.
