When talking about special teams play in the 21st century NFL, outstanding returnmen like Dante Hall or Devin Hester will get mentioned right away as will clutch place kickers like Adam Vinatieri. However, one name can also not be missed from the conversation: Matthew Slater. As one of the league’s premier kicking game players of his era, Slater is a key member of two New England Patriots Super Bowl-wining teams.
Helping the team win two trophies and ten straight AFC East titles is just one part of his outstanding résumé.
