Darius Slay joins Shannon Spake for one of his most honest and emotional conversations yet. Before he became a Super Bowl champion, six-time Pro Bowler, two-time All-Pro, and one of the NFL's most respected cornerbacks, Slay was a kid from Brunswick, Georgia, trying to beat the odds.
In this episode, he opens up about growing up surrounded by violence, being raised by his grandmother, the reality of his mother having him at just 13 years old, becoming a father himself at just 15 years old, and the coach who convinced him he had what it took to make it to the NFL.
Slay shares how his son completely changed the course of his life, why he believes fatherhood saved him, and the lessons he learned on his journey from junior college to Mississippi State and eventually to a 13-year NFL career. He also reflects on his decision to retire, why it was important to walk away on his own terms, his favorite memories from the NFL, and why he's ready to dedicate this next chapter of life to his family.
This is the story behind the football player, the husband, the father, and the man known as Big Play Slay.
