I agree thanks for the memories Steve. I 'm not sure what in the crap Houston is going to do with you since you rushed for 1200+yards and 600 rec yards the year before last. I think you should be traded by your trader team to the S.F. 49ERS.
well it sure does sell, in fact rap and r&b have been 1 and 2 in sales for the past 7 years. and the fact that blacks only make up 15% of the us population. it means that white people are contributing to those sales. in fact young white female teens prefer rap music over rock, only depressed girls like rock
damn they have randy moss joey galloway and wes welker now ouch (another undefeated season?) I think randy deserves 1 i lived in rand right beside his mom and remember meeting a few times when he came to WV
With the "grudge" thing he's talking about at 1:08 he's talking about Maryland because he was supposed to go there at 1st but they took back their scholarship at the last minute I think because somebody else they wanted signed so they didnt want Steve anymore...But as u see he got his payback....Dumb move by Maryland if u ask me....GO SLATON
Steve is crazy fast, even faster than that 4.35 at the combine suggests, and he's crazy loose at the hips. He's got lightning quick cuts, and more importantly, lightning quick fake cuts. He can break anyone's ankles in the open field. I wanna see him, Chris Johnson, Wes Welker and Devin Hester timed in a 10 yard sprint in game pads, to see who's the quickest in the game out of the blocks.
That would be a 40 yard result. In a 10 yard, Wes is as quick as anyone. That's why he's led the league in receptions the past 2 years, with 2 different QBs. NO one is quick enough to keep up with his cuts.
That does help, but it certainly isn't the whole story. Was the Raider's receiving corps lighting it up because of Randy? Now next year, with both Randy Moss AND Joey Galloway running out deep and leaving the slot open... Ouch.
That definitely is a good point, but I would argue the same for any great player throughout history. Would Jerry Rice have been so good without Joe Montana, or Lynn Swan without Terry Bradshaw? I'm not trying to say that Wes Welker is as good as Jerry Rice, but I hope you see my point.
I understand, and i'm trying to fight the common misconception that he IS that good. Im a fins fan, i've watched him since he came in and while he's always been a good playmaker, he's never been a tremendous ANYTHING. Not a returner, not a WR, nothing. He's just a solid player who knows what to do with the ball when he gets it. There's something to be said for that, but you have to look at his team, his division (AFC E had TERRIBLE pass D), and other factors like that to get the real picture
Every player has a specific skills set, and it's up to the team to find and cultivate it. I would compare him to Reggie Bush. The Saints tried to use him as a straight-up RB, and he stank. Once they started using him more as a RB/WR/option threat, people started realizing how dangerous he could be. The Fins didn't realize what routes and plays Wes was best at, so they never really used him, either. He's more of a small tight end than a true receiver, and he's deadly on the screens.
ITs a nice list i'd argue the game tying td verse UL in 05 belongs up their besides the pitt pass. It was just a long pass and steve used speed plus we killed pitt that year the play didn't mean as much as the others you have up here
How he wasn't taken in the second round at worst, i'll never know. But the proof is in the pudding as steve is proving on sudays now. He is one of the top 3 rookies so far this season. LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS!!
I think Slaton is really good, and I have him on my fantasy team, but the thing that most people, including me, were worried about was his ineffectiveness in his last few games.
i love how he burned that "sec speed", he made em look like they were standing still...its ok georgia, your not the only ones..oklahoma knows what im talkin about
This guy might turn out to be what Reggie Bush was supposed to be, Bush catches a lot of passes in the n.f.l not much running.Slayton looking good for Texans.
yeah you left out a few plays like the 2005 Louisville game where he scored 6 td's. The cutback play against Rutgers this year. Steve has to have a top ten plays vid. Cause he's just that damn good. Hate to see u and Darius go Steve!!!

No highlights from junior year as he gained weight and really lost his speed. As a junior none of those runs would have gone for tds.
The speed he showed on #4 really blows my mind. The guy who finally caught him in the endzone was the 100 meter track champion in the Big East.
