Though the Pats 5th round selection Matt Slater from UCLA is listed as a Wide Receiver he's really a jack of all trades. Here's an interesting article that might actually get Pats fans excited about him:

"He kind of reminds me of Devin Hester, the way he hits it," said running back/kick returner Kahlil Bell. "A lot of returners, myself included, they will dance around and try to juke 11 guys.
"Slater sees a crease, and with his speed he just hits it."
And just like Slater hits a crease, he delivers his share of hits on special teams, as well. Against BYU, he forced a fumble on a kickoff, and over the past two seasons he has earned a reputation as a big hitter as a gunner on punt and kickoff coverage.
