I think it’s a tribute to his late brother. He’s already got 2 for him but I believe that it might be the moment he fulfilled his promise to him that he would kick in the nfl.

It's something like this. I thought it was his boy from high school not his brother but i can’t remember exactly what he told me. It's 100% a tribute though

The Buccaneers didn't want the kicker after a rookie minicamp tryout last summer. Neither did the Browns. Then after spending all of last season away from football, Slye got a chance with the Giants in May. He was cut a week later. The Giants called again on the eve of training camp last month. He was cut four days later.

So why keep going?

"I promised my brother, who passed away in 2014, that I would make it," Slye explained after making field goals of 29, 42 and 55 yards in the Panthers' preseason-opening win over the Bears.

If you were watching closely, you might have seen Slye hold up six fingers after each of his makes. 6 is the number AJ Slye wore in high school before heading to play linebacker at Salisbury University.

"He came home after his first semester and was diagnosed with leukemia. He then passed away 14 months later," said Joey Slye, who has two tattoos on his back. One represents the Slyestrong#6 Foundation. The other is the tattoo AJ Slye was supposed to get when he beat cancer.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By NAS · Posted

      I find it funny those who continue to hate on Bryce based on his rookie year when he had zero weapons or offensive line have a problem with those of us projecting his career from the 8-9 games where he played like a top 10 QB and made more big time throws during that period than any other QB.  The stats may bot have been there in terms of yards or TD passes but that’s coming as the roster improves. For those who think physical traits can overcome roster deficiencies we all witnessed how Mahomes looked under pressure that Bryce faced for most of his rookie year, we saw what happened with Stroud in similar circumstances.  None of us were creating posts proclaiming Bryce as the next Brady but we can’t just sit idly while thread after thread is created continuing with the  anti Bryce tropes  instead of supporting him and just letting him continue to develop.

      To me Bryce's ceiling is his backup, Andy Dalton, in his prime.  Sure, he may get us some winning seasons and may even get us to the playoffs on occasion, but with an early exit.  To me he doesn't have what it takes to be elite and it takes an elite QB to consistently get deep into the playoffs.  He's not Jackson, he's not Mahomes and he's not even Allen.  In an organization like Philly, he possibly could have what it takes to make a deep run, but let's face it...Philly is well oiled machine and and we are a GMC Grimlin.

      If he was he would still be in the league.... Cam never learned to play QB without relying on his athletism and rocket arm.
