A very significant, and very intriguing name has called it a career as Matthew Slater announced via the New England Patriots social media, that he is retiring after 16 seasons in the NFL, all of which were with the Pats. Slater made history with ten Pro Bowls, the most of any Special Teams player in football history, is the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer, Jackie Slater.  A Fifth Round Pick in 2008, Slater was twice a First Team All-Pro, a three-time Super Bowl Champion, and a 2010s All-Decade Selection. Slater’s path to the Pro Football Hall of Fame will be difficult with Steve Tasker’s failure, but it is not impossible.  He is eligible for Canton in 2029. We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Matthew Slater the best in post-playing career.
