Mike Vrabel continues to build out his coaching staff for the Patriots, with a lot of familiar faces reportedly joining him in New England.

Slater served the role of special assistant to the head coach on Jerod Mayo’s staff. It was his first coaching opportunity since retiring from the game of football. He had a historic career as one of the greatest special teams players of all time with the Patriots from 2008-2003, earning 10 Pro Bowl nominations in the process.

After bringing back Josh McDaniels as the offensive coordinator, Mike Vrabel has made other coaching adds this past week.
