Darius Slay has been saying all the right things since arriving to the Philadelphia Eagles via trade from the Detroit Lions.
His latest statement will surely make him family to Eagles fans and the entire city of Philadelphia.
While speaking on his Instagram Live, Slay stated that he would wear jersey No. 24 for the Eagles in honor of the late Kobe Bryant.

The No. 24 was previously warned by Jordan Howard who took his talents to South Beach and joined the Miami Dolphins on a two-year deal.
The last big named defensive back to wear the number was Nnamdi Asomugha, who famously forgot how to play the position after the Eagles made him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL, prying him away from Raiders in free agency during the 2011 offseason.
