In a move that will likely draw a ton of emotion from one of the NFL’s top cornerbacks, Darius Slay landed at No. 92 on the NFL Network’s Top 100 players for 2020 list.
It was voting that was done by his peers.
On the countdown for the third consecutive year…

Slay was No. 86 in 2019 after cracking the top-50 in 2018. Slay had a down season according to the analysts and critics but the Top-100 is voted on by his peers, something that should add more fuel to his proverbial fire.
Slay is among the top-5 cornerbacks in football and yet has suffered countless disrespect this offseason when it comes to where he stands among the NFL’s elite cornerbacks.
Slay was impressive last year despite some down statistics on a bad team and yet his performance against some of the NFL’s best would be highlight-reel performances for some other cornerbacks.

Slay’s 85 forced incompletions since 2014 are the most in the NFL over that span as well.
