Quote:“That No. 13 slot has been a quality draft spot for tackles over the past two years — Tristan Wirfs was selected there in the 2020 draft — and Slater has been entrusted to protect the blindside of the Chargers’ most valuable investment: QB Justin Herbert. Folks might ask why there wasn’t a skill player at the top, but it’s about degree of difficulty as well. And other than quarterback, no position might face a more difficult introduction to the league than a rookie left tackle.”
“Slater is one of two rookie tackles to see at least 80 pass block plays so far and not allow a sack (Penei Sewell). And Slater’s work in Week 1 against Washington edge rusher Chase Young was just a football appetizer for what he has done in the early going.”
