Eagles’ CB Darius Slay lands at No. 77 on the NFL Network’s Top 100 Players list

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay lands at No. 77 on the NFL Network’s Top 100 Players list for 2022.

Darius Slay has the respect of his peers around the league, so it should be no surprise that the guy known as ‘Big Play’ landed at No. 77 on the NFL Network’s ‘Top 100 players‘ list for 2022, his fourth appearance on the list.

Playing more zone coverage under first-year defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, Slay logged three touchdowns and three interceptions.

Slay’s 86.2 coverage grade as an outside cornerback led the NFL, and he ranked 11th in both yards allowed per outside-coverage snap (0.79) and percentage of outside targets to result in a first down or touchdown (29.4%) per PFF.

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.

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.
