ERIC EDHOLM: Ever since Northwestern's tackle, Rashawn Slater, put on a clinic tape back in 2019 against Chase Young, one of the few players to contain him, he's been a hot name in the scouting world. Slater has incredible athletic traits as you might expect from the son of a former NBA player, Reggie Slater.

Of course, the last time we saw Rashawn was back in the 2019 season. He opted out last year. And his lack of mass and length could make him a guard on some team's boards. But Slater's a tackle in our eyes and, perhaps, the best mover at the position in the entire class. He sure looks a lot to us like the Saint's Terron Armstead.
