Darius Slayton Drafted by the Giants

After just one player was drafted through the first two days, more Auburn players are starting to come off the board, including Darius Slayton in the fifth round.

Slayton becomes the third Auburn player selected in the 2019 NFL Draft after Jamel Dean (third round - Tampa Bay) and Jarrett Stidham (fourth round - New England), and he’ll get to go play in the Big Apple to try and revitalize the New York Giants after a tumultuous offseason.

The skills that Slayton will bring to the table were showcased in the Music City Bowl, and he’ll bring a ton of speed and big-play ability to the Giants’ offense.
