description

The nickname “Big Play Slay” hadn’t yet reached everyday football conversation in 2013, but in a nowhere-to-hide matchup against a division foe boasting two 1,200-yard Pro Bowlers, evidence was already building in Darius Slay’s favor in Year One. Attached like glue to one of the Windy City’s 6-foot-3 pass-catchers, Detroit’s rookie cornerback gives the cameraman a picture-perfect view of his defensive skills, breaking up a would-be touchdown along the field’s right corner. Making the needed plays to help Detroit survive a 31.6-point scoring offense upon arrival, Slay tallied seven tackles and one pass defended, as the Lions outgunned the Chicago Bears for a 40-32 victory on Sept. 29, 2013.
