The No. 13 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Slater has become an invaluable piece of the Los Angeles offensive line. Slater made an immediate impact for the franchise, starting all 16 games as a rookie and earning first-team All-Rookie honors and a Pro Bowl nod.

On their unofficial preseason depth chart posted this week, L.A. listed Trey Pipkins III as the top backup at both left and right tackle. The 6' 6", 307-pounder has spent the entirety of his six-year NFL career with the Chargers and started 56 games with the club. The majority, however, were at right tackle.
