Matt Slater should be one of Jim Mora’s best recruiting tools for UCLA football, especially on the eve of national signing day Wednesday. Slater is a former Bruin who became a six-time Pro Bowl special teams player and will be seeking his second Super Bowl ring on Sunday with the New England Patriots.
Except Slater has never even spoken to Mora.
“Actually, I’ve never met Coach Mora, no,” Slater said Monday at Super Bowl media day. “I haven’t been back to campus in a while.”
It’s not that Slater doesn’t like giving back to the community.
