Lions' Slay fine-tunes game at Sherman's CB summit

Allen Park — Darius Slay isn’t one to rest on his laurels.

The Detroit Lions cornerback, coming off his first All-Pro season, has always been one to use his offseasons to get better.

After his rookie year, he traveled to California to work with Hall of Fame cornerback Rod Woodson, staying in his home for five days. In subsequent offseasons, after Woodson took a coaching job with the Raiders, Slay would often work out with veteran teammates Rashean Mathis and Glover Quin.

But this year, Slay switched it up when he received an invite to attend an exclusive summit of some of the league’s best players at his position that was put together by 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman.
