Slaton was selected by the Packers in the fifth round (No. 173 overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft. He’s coming off a senior season in which he started all 12 games at defensive tackle for the Gators in 2020, recording a career-high 37 tackles (13 solo), 3.5 tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks and 5 QB hurries.
