any man can get a girl pregnant but it takes a real man to father it.Good job u raised a true Man

His mom was 13 when she had him...oh my :/ props to her though she raised a good man

Darius Slay's mom was a Grandma at 29 wowwwwwwww

His son holding his baby sister like she's the most precious thing ever is how you know they were raised right

Just goes to show you. It's not about how you start, it's about how you pick up and move forward

His children are very lucky to have a great loving father

My wife passed away at 39 I got 2 kids on my own This story gives me hope

His mama saved his future, bless his mama and his wife completes him ugh this is a true love story. 🥰❤

No one's going to comment on that catch she made? She's got better hands than any of the Bills receivers.

There are a hundred things I like do about this interview. Here are a few: - the interviewer is relaxed, laid back, in jeans, respectful, human - the interviewer and -ee are presented as equals - not as an ignorant black man and a patronizing white woman, nor as a famous man and a tittering girl - the relationship between mother and son is portrayed as being one of mutual respect, encouragement and support - neither the mothers nor son are demonized for having children young - the focus, instead, is placed on their strength, determination and accomplishments - the relationship between the couple is portrayed as strong, mutually respectful, supportive and encouraging - they’re a team - the wife is presented in her own strengths and career Everyone in this interview is presented as strong and valued. And I loved it. They had their obstacles, they stood together, they were stronger for it.

Much respect for this dude. Im single daddinng it up with a 7 year old and a 5 year old. Glad to see others step up and what not. I have even more respect for that man now

I deeply appreciate how this young man is projecting a positive image for black men out there. Don't allow yourselves to be defined by what society wants you to be; be motivated to aspire to what you can be: "A role model" for others to look to. I am so happy about this outcome

A man providing for his family is respectful!

*''Oh yea, she's a daddy's girl. She gonna get the Bentley they gonna get a maxima.''* _My life in a nutshell_

Wentz will definitely sign his game ball now that they're teammates. 😅

Damn his mamma was a gramma at age 28!! Kuddos to her for raising a good strong loyal young man! And same to him for raising his own.

“Don’t be limited by people who despise your growth, they want you to remain the same so they will feel comfortable.”

What a great dad. Im a Bears fan but mad respect to Slay.

How ironic is it that he considers his best play an interception against Carson Wentz and now he is on the eagles

Damn, his wife is gorgeous.

This transcends football. This is what a truly good man looks like. I wish him a lot of healthy and successful years in the league, cause he is the type of man the sport needs most.

I knew who the football player was, but I am so glad to now know the man. Respect to Darius! Good man

I'm so happy this man is an eagle now. He adds character to any room he steps in. That and he's funny as hell. I hope we can get him the ring he deserves this year.

The positivity is contagious.

Who else thinks he looked like trey songz when he was younger

This is truly inspirational. God i ask that u can continue to bless and protection this young man and his family. Please Lord.

The problem here is, there is a lot of black men like this but they make it seem like this is a myth.

He's like a giddy kid and a worried adult at the same time. I'm happy his kids have such wonderful parents.

Man had that chip on his shoulder and he didn't care. Just pulled through it man. mad respect big play slay

No wonder he so good. Mans went against Calvin Johnson

Much respect to this young man and his wife and family. 💯

He has the most contagious smile.

Beautiful relationship I love that your wife is not out there being flashy for the cameras which makes her more beautiful! Beautiful kids! YOU guys make sure you're praying together to have that stronger relationship! God bless! There's nothing like having a strong mother to stand by you!

It’s so funny how quickly young parents handle parenthood and become so responsible 👌🏽

Are we gonna talk about that catch at 6:25 😂

Shout out to Darius mom, through her, he is truly a role model and family man.

People can talk about him and his mom being young parents. Let's not forget he made it.

That brotha deserve what he got going forreal 💯💯💯

This guy just became my favorite player in the NFL.

Great job by Darius's mom, and great job on Darius being a great individual.

Love to see young men handle there business. Much respects young Brotha.

I had a lot of respect for him before this video. My respect went up about 1000x

The funny thing is darrion is my best friend and I had no clue his dad was the football player till we had a sleep over

Who is watching this after he was traded to the eagles 🦅

Not necessarily a football fan, so I've never heard of this young man; but after hearing his story, and seeing him as a great father and husband; I am a fan of his.💯👏

This is extremely motivating and inspirational. What a great dude! I'm happy for him and his family. 🙌🏾🙏🏾💪🏾

“Your high school girlfriend tells you she’s pregnant, do you freak out “ 😂😂😂😂

“dezirae can’t do no wrong in my eyes” besides when #2 comes around in the diaper

As a Lions fan I always loved slay but now even more, what a g

Damn, way to go Slay. His kids are lucky, a loving father and always making time even when he's on the road.

what an amazing father Darius is. always respected him on the field, but he's even better off of it.

So proud of Slay....His mom did an amazing job

I will always love my Mom. She was a teenage mother who made sure she taught her daughters how to be independent strong educated women. God Bless you Slay and your new beautiful family.

His life experiences so early on makes him who he is today. He is truly happy. Very admirable.

His wife seems so sweet.

When Slay was picked up by the Eagles, I was thrilled. First, because he's a beast at corner and second because I knew his back story. A win/win for Philly

He has such a cute smile 😂. He is a wonderful father

This young man can teach all the missing in action fathers how to be real men and great dads....hope they see this and start making the right changes.

I’ll say this once, but I’ll say it again, NFL Films produces some of the best content on UKposts

Love this - very inspirational and respectful interview. It's not about how you start, it's about how you finish.

I love him. His mom raised his so well.

6:24 she got better catching skills than Kelvin Benjamin

God bless him and his family. He's a credit to America. Good for him.

What an AWESOME MOM who together grew up learning, teaching and loving each other. Momma showed him how to be what a man is suppose to be. GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Big play Slay✊🏾

Honestly. My new favorite cornerback right here. Not just how good he is but his heart is why I love him a person.

Kudos to his mom, he turned out to be a great man of responsibility 👍🏽 I'm proud of him.

As a lions fan I’m allowed to say the lions are stupid for trading him

His children are blessed to have him and he’s blessed to have his children ❤️ amazing story...

I’m a packers fan but I got mad respect for him

Starts with his mom making the best out of a tough situation and still being such a positive role model.

This is what a man looks like. And his mom is a real woman. SO hard, God bless them.

Beautiful family, and great story!!!

The NFL should showcase this man , incredibly likeable , and inspirational

Damn this whole family looks so cute and good. The dad sounds so nice. And the mom is so comforting ❤️😩

You need to teach your son that the cycle must stop and stop at you.No more teen pregnacies.Thank you Darius for being a good dad and a good example. Never give up my brother. Keep fighting be good. God Bless.

Packer fan here, a man who put his family first is a man amongst men.

This is an inspirational story to show anybody to never give up on your Dreams or Responsibilities......And A Big Salute to His Mom for pushing him

Philly is gonna take care of you bro.!!! I'm so excited for this

Thank you for this beautiful story. Wishing all the best for the Slay family.

Good story, responsibility is what life is all about; his mother did a wonderful job.

I can truly respect his mother and him for stepping up at a very young age. Bless him and his beautiful family!!💕

what a great story. "gotta work what ya got" i always appreciate a baller, now i am a big fan of yours. go pack go

Huge respect and love for slay...Detroit loves you man!

6:25 what a catch!

Great story. Learning on-the-fly. Now he is the best at what he does at work, and at home! Doesn't get any better than that.

I have mad respect for this young man. God Bless him and his family. I'm a fan of another team but I will go out of my way to watch him play.

I love what he said!! " I go out there to have fun. People are like 'I don't feel like going to practice' and I'm like 'well I do!!" He has so much gratitude.

As a Packers fan, I only hate him in gameday. He is a gentleman and a great father. Success and great career.

so wait, a grandma at 28? i was single w no kids at 28 lmao

That baby girl is gonna be so spoiled, loved and protected by his older brothers and his daddy lol

Slay’s story is making me cry! What a good guy he is! He deserves everything in life!

I love this guy! The way he loves life and his family. #OnePride

So many great fathers out here...great interview. May God continue his blessing to this family.

darius seems so sweet and caring. his kids are growing up with a great dad.

I'm glad we have such a classy and real individual in Philly, hope 2021 is the best year ever for you Big Play Slay!!!
