New England Patriots special teams ace Matthew Slater had high praise for a rookie who has been making an impact on the unit.
Slater is a 10-time Pro Bowl selection. So he has been around the league long enough to know a good special teams player, and rookie Brenden Schooler falls into that category.
Schooler, an undrafted rookie out of Texas, is a classic Bill Belichick find that has made a noticeable impact in the time he’s spent with the organization.
He has 10 solo special teams tackles, which is tied for the NFL lead. He also has multiple fumble recoveries and has recovered a blocked punt.
