Scouting Report: Strengths
- Plays with natural leverage and has the strength to anchor against the bull rush. Slaughter also packs a violent initial punch that can stand up pass rushers.
- He is a work in progress with high-end physical traits. He’s extremely light on his feet for a 300-pounder, a natural knee bender who plays with balance and leverage.
- A smooth mover and covers a lot of ground, working hard to mirror rushers; agile and keeps his feet moving.
- Fundamentally sound and understands blocking angles, using body positioning to his advantage. Disciplined awareness and good intelligence.
- When his hand placement is right, Slaughter has the strong grip that allows him to manhandle opponents. Slaughter plays with a mean streak and keeps the nastiness going through the whistle.
- Adequate foot quickness to remain outside. Can get to the second level with surprising agility when adjusting to moving defenders. Underrated athleticism, agility, balance, and even straight-line speed to contribute.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s good but maybe not great in a phone booth. Can move defenders at the point of attack, but at times Slaughter comes up high and seems satisfied walling defenders off rather than dominating them.
- Could be a liability against speed-to-power pass rushers early in his career.
- Loses leverage battles and plays with high pad level. Can be late off the snap.
