 How he fits 

Slaton, at 6-5 and over 350 pounds is also an impressive high school basketball player, which should tell you everything you need to know about his overall athleticism for his size. He has some limitations with his footwork because of his size, but he has all the tools to become a dominant guard or right tackle in major college football.
