The best quarterback for Darius Slay is Pat Mahomes and no one else.
Just over a week ago, Eagles cornerback Darius Slay was in front of his TV watching the AFC final between the Chiefs and the Bengals. After the snatch victory of Kansas City, future opponent of Philadelphia in Super Bowl LVII, Slay had paid tribute to Pat Mahomes by saying that he was a “magician” but also “the player that people missed the most. respect” in the NFL. Indeed, many of them imagined Joe Burrow and Cincinnati winning on Mahomes’ land.
Monday, during the Opening Night of Super Bowl Week in Phoenix, we asked the Philly player to find out what he really thought behind his remarks.
“I don’t understand how a guy who won the AFC three times in five years, who won a Super Bowl, who was named MVP, wasn’t considered a favorite in a home game to go to the Super Bowl (against the Bengals, editor’s note). What were people saying? Burrowhead? Many thought he was going to lose. »
Eventually, Pat Mahomes won over Burrow and the Bengals, all despite a loose ankle. A heroic performance with at the end a new qualification for the Super Bowl. Something to impress Darius Slay a little more, who is about to face the cream of the crop on Sunday at Glendale.
“I think he’s the best quarterback in the NFL today, that’s why I think people disrespected him. No one would have said that for Tom (Brady, editor’s note), and he’s the next Tom. »
