Green Bay Packers defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery saw the flashes during TJ Slaton’s rookie season in 2021. At times, the fifth-round pick from Florida showed dominant traits, especially against the run.
As is the case for all young players, the next step for Slaton is becoming more consistent during his second season.
“More consistency. Doing the little things all the time,” Montgomery said Tuesday. “I think he can be a dominant run player when he’s doing the right things. That’s what I’m going to hold him accountable for.”
