Surprising to me, there actually is one OT in the Top 30 who has shorter than 33" arm length - Braden Smith.
Braden Smith plays RT for the Colts.
There is no LT (at least in the Top 30) who has shorter than 33" arm length.
It's worth noting that Braden Smith was labeled as an OG when drafted and played OG in college. The Colts took the chance to try him at RT.
There are 7 others who have between 33.0 and 33.875" arm length that are in PFF's top 30 performers at OT.
Sounds to me like Slater is a OG or OC if his arms are that short then.
