Rashawn Slater, Asante Samuel Jr. named to PFF’s Midseason All-Rookie team

On Thursday morning, Pro Football Focus announced their Midseason All-Rookie team which unsurprisingly included a the Chargers’ top two picks from this year’s NFL draft.

First, Rashawn Slater was selected as the team’s left tackle, beating out the only offensive lineman drafted higher than him in April in Penei Sewell. Slater is currently the sixth-highest graded tackle in the NFL with an overall grade of 78.7. He’s allowed just 12 pressures and a pair of sacks in 328 pass-blocking snaps this year.

Asante Samuel Jr. was also named to the list, pairing with Cleveland’s Greg Newsome as the team’s only two outside corners.
