Yesterday after practice I got the chance to interview the 2017 Bart Starr Award winner, Matthew Slater. In addition to being a genuinely nice guy, he's also a 6 time Pro Bowler.
Q- Bill appears to practice every aspect of the game.  Does this included the coin toss?

A- Ha ha.  No, that's not something that we really go through.  It's something that we may discuss in meetings, captains meetings, but it's not something that we practice necessarily.

Q- If you weren't playing football, what would you be doing?

A- I'd probably be in ministry somewhere.  That was my plan and is still my plan when I retire.  You know I've got a passion to work with kids and spread the gospel so I still plan on doing that.

Q- Which rookie that you've worked with has picked up things the fastest? 

A- Oh, there are a lot of guys, it would be hard to just single out one guy.  I feel like I'd be doing an injustice if I started naming names.  There's been a lot of guys, this year, years past that have done a great job.

Q-  What's your most memorable non-playoff game?  

A-  (had to think about it)  I guess my first game in the NFL.  To be able to realize your dream and be out there on an NFL football field is pretty special.

Q-  Is there any upcoming charity or fundraiser that you'd like me to plug for you?

A- Ooo,Envision Boston is a charity that I partner with.  They are going to go around to inner-city schools in Boston and give them free vision tests and give them glasses.  So being a glasses wearer for the last 25+ years, it is something I'm happy to partner up with. 
RAPID FIRE- I concluded the interview by giving Slater two options to pick from.  His selection is in bold. 
coverage team or receiving team
Jordan or LeBron
cause a fumble or fumble recovery
NBA or NCAA
text or call
internet or video game
first kiss or first touchdown *
summer games or winter games
bench press or squats
go to bed early or stay up late+
math or english
fake punt or onside kick
more nervous- wedding or first Superbowl
*mentioned that he hasn't had a first touchdown yet
+especially with kids
