He is absorbing the question; not thinking about his answer (which is hard not to do). But then an intelligent considered answer pops out. Amazing humility.
With a little more confidence Slayton can become an important leader on offense; joining DJ and SB.
This man would succeed at whatever vocation he chose.
Really good interview and really bright, confident and well-spoken
He has a few things to clean up, like the balls he drops in between 2 players. BUT, he more than makes up for them with bigger chunk plays. Coaching can fix that, as will his instincts. This kid is a #1 in the making and I am stoked we found him.
from pretty early on. Some of the Giants' own media people (Schmelk, Feagles etc on that daily call in show) mentioned Slayton's intelligence and humor some time ago. Apparently he's stood out from early on in certain personality traits.
He's got the mental chops to be a #1 IMO.
PROPS to Cowhurd for some of those questions. He steered the interview in a way to allow Slayton to show his best self, and provide real insight about the NFL too. Like the questions about the experienced CBs who got "into Slayton's head" much to his own surprise.
Agreed 100%. Because Colin set a welcoming platform for Slayton, some nuggets came out that CC didn't even ask about. For instance, Slayton's comment about his preference for the deep ball, after describing how Jones laid a perfect bomb out to him the first day of rookie camp.
Slayton is a good and determined RAC guy, but it seems he'd rather catch the ball well downfield. He obviously believes in his own speed.
It's nice to be able to do both run after catch and run deep routes
Playmakers, with no WR diva baggage.

To take the double-teams off of him. The draft is rich - Jeudy, Lamb and my favorite a hard-nosed type - Laviska Shenault.
We all make a mistake like that from time to time. Not everyone has the guts to admit it.
Always makes it easier to root for an intelligent and well-spoken player.

Good stuff.
And his play on the field, but you don't need to be a mental giant or a Clarence Darrow to play this game.
Morris Claibourne (Wonderlic score - 4), did OK in the NFL.
Our own Mario Manningham was the opposite of articulate, but was a good player.
