This past season, fans were disappointed when they found out Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay would be sidelined for the Week 8 matchup with the New York Giants. This is partly because Slay is a solid player who’s fun to watch when healthy, but also because many wanted to see him line up on Giants receiver Darius Slayton.
A Darius Slayton vs. Darius Slay matchup would definitely be headline-worthy, and it was a real bummer that it couldn’t take place. But wouldn’t it be even more interesting if the two players with nearly the same name were teammates?
