Jake Slaughter
23-Year-Old
Selected by Chargers
The Chargers selected Slaughter in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 63rd overall.
ANALYSIS
Slaughter (6-foot-5, 303 pounds) could probably stand to add a little more bulk, both because his height outranks his weight at the position (88th versus 49th percentiles, according to Mockdraftable), and because he has plus athleticism to spare if adding weight slows him down at all. He logged a 5.1-second 40-yard dash, 32.5-inch vertical and 110-inch broad jump at the combine, all of which are strong marks for an interior lineman. Nick Saban declared the former Florida standout his favorite center in the draft, but Slaughter might more so work at guard given that the Chargers signed Tyler Biadasz in free agency. With a little injury luck, the Chargers should have a good offensive line across the board.

Brugler's top-ranked center
Slaughter is the 89th-ranked prospect in the comprehensive 2026 NFL Draft guide put together by Dane Brugler of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Brugler ranks Slaughter as the top center prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft class, three spots ahead of Sam Hecht and another three spots ahead of Logan Jones. Center isn't a premium position, but Slaughter certainly has a chance to be a Day 2 draft pick. The 6-foot-5, 303-pounder started 33 games over the past three years at Florida and was an All-American in both 2024 and 2025.
