Here is a excerpt from the article.
—————————————————————
“Slater has fit in, to be certain, seemingly as much as he has stood out. From a sparkling debut during which he neutralized Washington’s Chase Young to a months-long run of productive consistency, Slater has been one of the league’s top tackles.
He has graded out as the Chargers’ second-best all-around blocker — according to Pro Football Focus — behind center Corey Linsley, a 2020 All-Pro who also just made the Pro Bowl.
“From Day 1, we could see Rashawn was ready to go in and play,” offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi said. “That’s rare. Just the way he approaches the game — his whole makeup — lends itself to a guy that you’re gonna be able to rely on for a long time.”
Slater has given up only four sacks and 22 pressures in 558 opportunities, helping Justin Herbert have a season impressive enough that he, too, was named a Pro Bowl starter.”
