Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has announced his engagement to Olympic athlete Anna Hall

New York Giants' star player Darius Slayton, is celebrating his engagement to reigning heptathlon world champion Anna Hall, despite dealing with recent injury woes.

The wide receiver and his now-fiancée shared their joyous news on social media last Friday, leading to a flood of congratulatory messages from his NFL teammates and fans alike.

This happy news comes as a silver lining for Slayton who is currently sidelined due to an injury, ruling him out of this weekend's game against the Green Bay Packers. This will be the Giants' first game without Brian Daboll, who was let go earlier this week following a disappointing start to the season.

Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will step in as head coach for the remainder of the season, starting with Sunday's game against the Packers.

Slayton, who played in Daboll's final game against the Chicago Bears, has been missing from practice this week due to a groin injury sustained during that match.

Despite this setback, there's still reason for Slayton to celebrate as his off-field life seems to be thriving after his girlfriend accepted his marriage proposal.

Hall revealed their thrilling announcement in a shared Instagram post with the Giants player on Friday, penning: "my whole entire heart. in the exact place we first met i got to say yes to me and you forever."

The post featured multiple snapshots of the elated pair marking their milestone moment, including an image of Slayton kneeling on one knee at the very track where their romance began.
