Not on My Timeline!” — Darius Slayton Goes All-In Defending Daniel Jones Against Online Hate
In an NFL offseason filled with speculation, stats, and slander, New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton isn’t here for any Daniel Jones disrespect — and he made that crystal clear in a viral quote that’s got Giants fans buzzing.
“Daniel Jones slander is NOT being tolerated on my timeline. That’ll be that way probably until the day I die.”
— WR Darius Slayton
The quote, boldly printed over an image of Slayton and quarterback Daniel Jones at practice, is a passionate defense of the much-debated QB1. Jones, wearing his signature red No. 8 practice jersey, stands beside Slayton, who looks focused and ready to work. The two have built chemistry on the field over the past few seasons — and now, we’re seeing the off-field bond just as strong.
Loyalty Over Noise
Slayton’s message didn’t come in a postgame presser or a carefully crafted PR release. It was raw, real, and straight from social media — the very place where Jones has faced relentless criticism. And Slayton’s not having it.
Whether you’re team #DannyDimes or not, it’s impossible to ignore the unity in the Giants’ locker room. When a wide receiver steps up like this — not just as a teammate but as a vocal supporter — it says a lot about the character of both players.
The Fans React
Here’s what fans are saying:
“Respect to Slayton. That’s how you ride for your guy.”
“Say what you want about Jones, but the locker room clearly believes in him.”
“Slayton just made me a bigger fan.”
And of course, some critics still aren’t convinced. But Slayton’s made one thing very clear: if you’re hating on Daniel Jones, don’t expect it to fly on his feed.
Final Word
Whether Daniel Jones can silence the doubters with his performance this season remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure: he’s already got the full support of his WR1.
And sometimes, that belief can be just as powerful as any pass thrown on Sunday.
