Patriots coach Invoice Belichick had some very excessive reward for his longtime particular groups captain Matthew Slater.
Belichick stated that Slater’s influence on particular groups compares with Tom Brady‘s impact on offense and Lawrence Taylor’s influence on protection.
“[Slater] will go up there, in the kicking game, with Brady on offense and Taylor on defense. So I feel very, very fortunate to have the opportunity to coach all the players, but I’d say those three in particular,” Belichick stated, through Mike Reiss of ESPN.
That’s excessive reward certainly. Brady is, in fact, extensively thought-about the very best participant in NFL historical past, and Taylor is taken into account by many to be the very best defensive participant in NFL historical past. Slater has been mentioned as a possible future Hall of Famer. Belichick would clearly endorse his choice.
