Darius Slay spent the last five seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles until the team decided to release the veteran cornerback in March. He quickly found a new home with the Pittsburgh Steelers who have been desperate for help in the secondary.

In Week 2 of the season, the Steelers hosted their home opener at Acrisure Stadium and Jennifer Slay attended and showed support for the cornerback. In an Instagram post, Jennifer Slay shared her gameday look for the first home game of the season. She wore a custom Pittsburgh Steelers tube top with SLay's number 23 jersey number. She paired the look with ripped, light washed jeans, sunglasses and necklace featuring Slay's jersey number.
