Darius Slay is not at the Detroit Lions minicamp this week. The Pro Bowl cornerback opted to skip the three days of mandatory practices in an effort to get some contractual benefit from the team.
That doesn’t mean Slay is out there eating cronuts or ignoring the physical responsibilities of what it means to be a professional athlete.
Slay is working out privately on his own with sports trainer Mike Barwis. The trainer posted a video clip of Slay working on his agility and quickness in a drill that was shot concurrently with the Lions practicing in Allen Park.
Slay looks pretty impressive in this clip:
It might be frustrating to have Slay skipping the mandatory sessions, but at least he’s putting in work on his craft.
