Darius Slay has been one of the most (publicly) welcoming members of the Eagles secondary. He embraced his role in mentoring first round pick Quinyon Mitchell, and is now getting the awkward part out of the way with the team picking Cooper DeJean on Friday night.
DeJean did an interview with Whistle during his pre-draft process, and was asked to choose “start, bench, cut” between Sauce Gardner, Jalen Ramsey, and Darius Slay. He answered the question in the same order, saying he’d start Gardner, bench Ramsey, and “I guess I had to cut Slay.”
@whistleCooper DeJean is resdy to LOCK UP Tyreek Hill Full episode of No Days Off w/ Cooper DeJean live now on Whistle’s YouTube #fyp #nfl #cooperdejean #tyreekhill #patrickmahomes #nfldraft

Who would have guessed that DeJean would be Slay’s future teammate, and that the NFL veteran would be aware of that interview?
