Allen Park — Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay made his debut on the “NFL’s Top 100,” the annual list of the league’s best as voted by the players, checking in at No. 49.
Slay, who had already established himself as one of the game’s best young cornerbacks, took his performance to another level in 2017 with a league-leading eight interceptions, more than doubling his career total through his first four seasons.
Even more impressively, he did it running the gauntlet against many of the league’s top receivers.
“I handled all the top guys in the league this year,” Slay said on program, which aired Monday night on the NFL Network.
