It’s hard to find another player who more embodies “The Patriot Way” than 34-year-old Matthew Slater.
Since arriving in the NFL as a fifth-round pick out of UCLA way back in 2008, Slater has become the consummate special teams ace at the professional football level. His effort on every kick and punt return is the stuff of legend, and he represents everything the New England Patriots value in an athlete and in a locker room leader.
And now, according to Bleacher Report’s Scott Polacek, the team can rest a little bit easier, as their unrestricted free agent appears to be headed back for his 13th NFL season.
