How good is Darius Slay?

[RedSoxDawg]

As much publicity as Banks gets, and rightfully so, is Darius Slay overlooked? Who else thinks Slay may be playing his way into a real chance at being drafted? We may have one of the best pair of corners in college football.

Ash and Lowe discussed same thing on SEC podcast

Say he's under the radar because of JB, but he's dang good

Slay has already worked his way to the 3rd-4th round- scouts already knew avout him from watching him at practice. He may even work his way higher- he can ball

slay should have started last year and should have returned punts and kickoffs. He especially should be the punt returner this year. Without having returned a punt he is still the best on the team.

Unfortunately I don't see him getting that chance. We seem set on rotating Bumphis and Banks. Both can take it the distance, but Bumphis scares the **** out of me back there. He wants to make a big play so bad that he sometimes does something stupid.

I'm with Coach on this. Slay is getting drafted.

As good as Banks is, Slay may be even better from a physical standpoint. He is has speed to burn and has really good size for a corner. He has a ton of upside, and the coaches obviously think very highly of him.

Not only did he beat Broomfield out, but he has performed well enough that the coaches don't feel they always have to have Banks shadow the opposing team's best player.

I'm really curious about how Broomfield feels about the DB changes.

I hope his position change was a necessity more than a suggestion. What I mean by that is, I hope Slay straight-up beat him out at corner, and in order for him to stay on the field, the coaches moved him to safety. I hope its not a situation where he may feel disgruntled because he thinks that it should be him getting this stats and accolades that Slay is getting.

We may have one of the beest pair of corners in college football.

I was saying that in the stands at the Auburn game. I'll be honest, I probably couldn't name two CBs on any other team in 'Merica, but if they're better than those two, I'd be surprised. I know Bama and LSU are stacked, but I don't think there is any question that Slay and Banks are both NFL draftees.

Mid-rounder. I remember him coming out of high school. He ran a 4.3 or something crazy but tore his ACL.

Banks is the #1 CB this year, but Slay gets the nod when it comes to pure athleticism. Guy is just a freak.

We'll find out today since they'll likely be slangin it a lot.
