Two months after announcing his retirement from football, Matthew Slater is already back with the New England Patriots with a new gig.
According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, the special teams legend is reportedly being described as the “right-hand man” to Jerod Mayo, who is making his head coaching debut in 2024.
Reiss wrote:
One source described his role as a “right-hand man” to first-year head coach Mayo, providing Mayo a sounding board on football and team building, as well as assistance in “people development.”
More Slater is obviously a good thing for the team.
