New Jets star Brandin Echols makes shocking statement about Darius Slay Jr: “He’s got more….”. vannguyen

The NFL just got a little spicier as New York Jets’ latest acquisition, Brandin Echols, threw some serious shade at Eagles star Darius Slay Jr. When asked about his thoughts on Slay’s reputation as one of the league’s top cornerbacks, Echols didn’t hold back, firing off a statement that has fans buzzing and analysts debating.

During a press conference following his introduction to the Jets, Echols was asked about how he stacks up against the competition, particularly against Darius Slay Jr., who has long been considered one of the best cornerbacks in the game.

Echols smirked before dropping a line that instantly went viral:
“He’s got more… what exactly? More hype? More media attention? Because I don’t see what he’s got that I don’t.”

Echols continued, saying, “I respect the guy, don’t get me wrong. But at the end of the day, we play the same position, and I don’t see why everyone acts like he’s miles ahead. Put us in the same situation, and let’s see who really locks down receivers better.”

This direct challenge to Slay instantly ignited a firestorm on social media, with fans debating whether Echols was making a valid point or just trying to stir the pot.

While Darius Slay Jr. hasn’t officially responded, he did post a cryptic tweet shortly after the news broke:
“Some people talk, some people prove it. We’ll see.”

Whether that was aimed at Echols or just a coincidence is up for debate, but one thing is for sure—this rivalry just got personal.

With both players set to face off in the upcoming season, this feud will have fans watching every snap even closer. If Echols wants to prove he’s on Slay’s level—or even better—he’ll have to back up his words on the field, not just in press conferences.

For now, we wait and see if Slay fires back or if he lets his game do the talking. Either way, this is the kind of drama that makes the NFL even more entertaining.
