AUBURN, Ala. – What does Auburn wide receiver Darius Slayton bring to the offense?

“Straight speed,” teammate Ryan Davis said. “He’s one of those guys that can take the top off. I don’t know that there are too many guys that can run with him.”

Speed is something that Slayton has always had. When he was a kid playing tag or playing around the playground, it didn't take long before he realized that no other kid could catch him.
