New York Jets

2009

The New York Jets selected Slauson with their sixth round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.[3] The Jets offensive line coach Bill Callahan previously coached Slauson at Nebraska who was considered versatile, athletic and durable.[4] Slauson was signed to a four year deal by the team in May.[5] Slauson would appear in three regular season games in 2009 playing at the guard and center positions respectively.[6]

2010

Following the team's selection of Vladimir Ducasse in the 2010 NFL Draft, the Jets would release veteran guard Alan Faneca.[7] During the team's training camp sessions, Slauson battled Ducasse to replace Faneca.[6][8] On September 9, 2010, Slauson would be named the team's starting left guard.[9]

Personal

Slauson was born in Sweet Home, Oregon to Nancy and Robert Slauson and attended and played football at Sweet Home High School before graduating from Air Academy High School in Colorado Springs, Colorado.[10] His father is the current principal at Lincoln Southwest High School in Lincoln, Nebraska.[11] Slauson has two other brothers, Nick and Chris, as well as a sister, Alli.[11]

Slauson is married to his wife, Cami. The couple have a son, Montgomery James.[12]
