Moore Praises Veteran Star, Darius Slayton
When asked about the smartest player he’s faced in the NFL, Moore singled out New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton, highlighting the caliber of talent he encounters on the field.
Slayton, a veteran in the league himself, entered the league in 2019 as a fifth-round pick by the Giants after a standout college career at Auburn University.
Known for his blazing speed (he ran a 4.39 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine), Slayton quickly became a deep threat for the Giants, leading the team in receiving yards in 2020.
While injuries have hampered him somewhat in recent seasons, Slayton remains a respected veteran presence with the ability to stretch the field for the Giants offense.
