#48 Overall, Darius Slay, Pittsburgh Steelers, #3 Cornerback
28 Aug
2020

2024 Pre-Season Rank #58, 2023 Pre-Season Rank #70, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #101, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #125, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #125.  Peak Period: 2017-21

The last three seasons of Darius Slay’s career in Detroit were phenomenal (2017-19), but they came after three average years and a rookie year in which he only played four Games. Slay joined the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020, where he looked for a shot at the Super Bowl, and last year, “Big Play” Slay got it in Philadelphia’s triumphant win over the Kansas City Chiefs.  With the Eagles, Slay had another three-year streak of Pro Bowls  (2021-23) and proved he still belonged in the upper echelon of Cornerbacks.

Slay enters 2025 with his third team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and is the active leader in Passes Defended (160, 7th All-Time), and should have some good football left in him to make that Hall of Fame push.
