Darius Slay on beef with Matt Patricia, Jalen Hurts' potential, hatred for the Cowboys & living up to 'Big Play Slay' nickname

The man known as 'Big Play Slay' joins All Things Covered for a big-time conversation with Bryant McFadden. Slay details his journey from Brunswick, Georgia, to JUCO to Mississippi State to the Lions and now the Eagles. He shares that he didn't train for the 40-yard dash and still ran a 4.36 and that Calvin Johnson used to punish him every day in practice as a rookie. Slay discusses a few coaching regimes in Detroit, including a good run with Jim Caldwell and a bad beef with Matt Patricia. Why did he never see eye-to-eye with 'Matty P'? Slay does not hold back! He then discusses his current situation and if Philly can still make the playoffs this season. The 3-time Pro Bowler also breaks down his knack for big plays, his score against his former team a few weeks ago and his recent 'Kobe Moment'. Who does Jalen Hurts compare to and what is his pro potential? Finally, Superlatives, where Darius answers the QB he wants to pick off the most, his Top 5 corners in the league right now and why he hates the Cowboys so much.
