Matthew Slater believes next special teams great already on Patriots

Matthew Slater is still mulling over the decision of whether or not to retire from football, but if he does decide to step away from the sport, he’s confident the next special teams star is already on the New England Patriots roster.

When appearing on Tim Hatch Live, the special teams legend pegged Patriots rookie Brenden Schooler as a player capable of leading the unit for years to come.

“I like to shout out my guy Brenden Schooler, who I think is going to be the next special teams great for our team,” said Slater.
