Jackie Ray Slater (born May 27, 1954, in Jackson, Mississippi) is a former American football offensive tackle who played his entire 20-year career with the Rams organization, playing 19 seasons for the Rams in Los Angeles (1976–1994) and one season for the St. Louis Rams in 1995.

Biography

College

Slater attended Jackson State University and was a letterman in football. In football, he was selected to the Southwestern Athletic Conference All-Star Game three times, and as a senior, he was a first team All–Black America selection, and was named an All-American selection by the Pittsburgh Courier. After his senior season, he was invited to participate in the College All-Star Game.

NFL career

Slater played in 259 games from 1976 to 1995, the most ever by an offensive lineman at the time of his retirement. He was the first player to play 20 seasons for one team, and former Washington Redskins cornerback Darrell Green is the only other one to accomplish the feat. Slater was selected to play in seven Pro Bowls, and made it to Super Bowl XIV with the Rams in 1979; in that season, Slater and the rest of the line helped the team to finish second in the league with 6,006 total offensive yards and gave up only 29 sacks.

In 2001, Slater was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was voted the National Football League Players Association NFC Offensive Lineman of the year four times, in 1983, 1986, 1987, and 1989. Slater was the Athletes in Action/Bart Starr Award winner after the 1995 season.

On February 16, 2006, Oakland Raiders head coach Art Shell hired him to become a co-offensive lineman coach along with Irv Eatman. Slater was released by the Raiders for the 2007 season. He is now an assistant offensive line coach for Saddleback Community College.

Personal

His son Matthew, who played college football at UCLA, was drafted by the New England Patriots in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft.
