Darius Slay is widely respected and regarded as one of the premier shutdown cornerbacks in the NFL. 

Not so fast, though, according to Michael Stets of WJR. 

Stets, a WJR Lions reporter, tweeted:

Darius Slay lets up a 33-yd completion and then gets beat and commits DPI. Yet #Lions fans and some media will still refer to him as a shutdown corner in the near future. SMH

Slay is known to be active on social media, and quickly replied to Stets and other fans questioning him.

Should Slay still be considered a shutdown cornerback in the NFL?
