Watch: Eagles players answer if DeVonta Smith can cover Darius Slay one-on-one

Watch: It’s been an ongoing debate for a year now, and Philadelphia Eagles players gave their answers to whether DeVonta Smith can cover Darius Slay 1-on-1

The debate has continued for a year now, and after the Eagles’ practice in Berea, teammates gave their opinion on whether DeVonta Smith can contain Darius Slay.

In case you were under a rock, this goes back to last year.

Before their Week 10 win over the Broncos in 2021, the star cornerback and star wide receiver discussed what would happen if they switched positions.

Smith said he’d “lock Slay up,” while the veteran cornerback believes he’s a jack of all trades on the football field.

Before Philadelphia’s trip to Denver, the two gave a preview of what the matchup would look like.

After his game-changing fumble recovery against the Broncos, Slay talked about his athleticism and how he would have dominated Smith if he had a quarterback.

Well, the Eagles’ social media team caught up to some of Smith and Slay’s teammates to get their reactions, and it was more comedy than accurate answers about the battle.

The back and forth will likely continue into the regular season, giving a glimpse into the strong bonds and great character guys this unit has assembled.
