Darius Slay Feels ‘Blessed’ To Be In Position With Steelers To ‘Teach Younger Guys’

Entering Year 13 in the NFL, Darius Slay is considered a graybeard, especially at the cornerback position.

At 34 years old and in a physically demanding position, Slay is the elder statesman, not only for cornerbacks around the NFL, but for the Pittsburgh Steelers, too.

Slay joined the Steelers on a one-year deal this offseason in free agency and has his sights set on finishing his career in style, while also getting an opportunity to teach and mentor a young cornerback room featuring the likes of Joey Porter Jr., Cory Trice Jr., Beanie Bishop Jr. and rookie seventh-round pick Donte Kent.
