Rashawn Slater Being Compared To Zack Martin
4 years agoNorthwestern offensive tackle Rashawn Slater is being compared to Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl offensive guard Zack Martin. Both players are roughly 6-foot-4, 310 pounds with 33-inch arms, and both have played offensive tackle. NFL teams are viewing Slater as an offensive lineman with Pro Bowl potential ahead of next week's draft. Slater has experience at tackle, but he's expected to be moved inside the guard because of his length concerns. He is great at run blocking and should excel in a zone-blocking scheme. But Slater is also excellent in pass protection while relying on agility and finesse over pure power. Expect him to be one of the first few interior offensive lineman off the draft board next week.
