Notes:
Made the questionable decision to skip his senior season at West Virginia despite a somewhat disappointing junior campaign...Ran for 1,128 yards and 17 touchdowns as a freshman and then racked up 1,744 yards as a sophomore to set a school record...As a junior, Slaton posted 1,401 total yards and 18 touchdowns, and while he left as the school's career touchdown leader (50), the strength of the tailback position in this draft left many wondering why the speedster didn't go back to Morgantown for another year...At just 5-10 and 196 pounds, Slaton does not have ideal size...He is, however, exceptionallyfast and is a threat to go the distance on every touch...Is a good receiver and dangerous after the catch...Does not run with much power...Figures to go among the second tier of backs.
