Darius Slay always believed his Philadelphia Eagles would fly to the Super Bowl in 2022.
Slay joined the Eagles via trade in March 2020 and hasn’t looked back. He has become a cornerstone of a fierce defence renowned for harassing quarterbacks with an NFL-leading 70 sacks - 15 more than any other team - as well as 17 interceptions, tied third in the league this past season.
He is known as ‘Big Play Slay’ for a reason: the cornerback has been named to five Pro Bowls, including two of his three seasons in Philadelphia. Across his 10-year career, Slay has snagged 26 interceptions and scored four defensive touchdowns as he is showing no signs of slowing down heading into his first Super Bowl.
