I’ve been a Giants fan since 8th grade, so the name Darius Slayton isn’t new to me. He’s one of my favorite players, particularly during an awesome 106-yard game against the Rams back in 2023.
But his sports stats aren’t what put him among the Worthy 100; that’s due to his consistent work on behalf of others; It’s also why the NFL Players Association awarded him the 2025 Alan Page Community Award.
In December 2024, he held his third holiday event partnering with the NYPD-led youth football programs in the Bronx, Far Rockaway, and Harlem. He donated $50,000 to support 24 New York families with holiday gifts and essentials. He also works with other police-community initiatives, which has seen him donate over $150,000 in funding while also mentoring 150 boys across 20 schools.
Some of that is via his Left-Hand Right-Hand Foundation, which hosts free football camps in Atlanta and provides financial aid to families in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, New Jersey, and Texas. Oh, and he’s yet another Worthier with better abs than me.
