Part 3/8:
Giants receiver Darius Slayton quickly leaped to Sanders' defense, asserting that the criticism was overstated. In a social media "clap back," Slayton argued that if defensive backs were truly skilled enough to exploit such a minor detail, they would be racking up interceptions on a regular basis. He also pointed to the legendary Tom Brady, emphasizing that Brady's patting of the ball did not hinder his success, and reinforcing that this habit should not negatively impact Sanders' performance.
