Strengths: A legitimate triple threat runningback; effective as a runner, receiver and kick returner. Lightning quick and extremely elusive. A threat in open space.
Concerns: Could use a bit more bulk to become more durable and pass block better.
Comments: Slaton has slipped a bit over the last year. He started as even money with Darren McFadden as the best sophomore runner in the country. But a lackluster season last year paired with many other backs jumping up into the fold, Slaton sees his first round pick status fading away. Don’t sleep on Slaton, he is still every bit the talent he showed in 2006.
