A phone rings, “We want to become a line-of-scrimmage team man. We think you can help make that happen.” At the end of the line, the response was, “Yes sir, I got you.” That was the conversation between the Chargers’ former HC and the OT Rashawn Slater when he was selected in the 2021 NFL Draft. Seems like he is still trying his best to keep up with that promise even under the new HC. He even helped his team to reach the wild card round. Although, Slater’s team couldn’t win this time, that doesn’t mean he ain’t got it.
If we do a quick sneak peek of his journey, we’ll understand that he is on the team for a reason. In 2024, Rashawn Slater earned a Pro Bowl selection for his remarkable 90.9 overall PFF grade. Over the past 4 seasons, only 12 players were able to achieve that kind of grade. Obviously, when you have a man of such talent, you don’t want to lose him. The Chargers picked up a $19.04 million fifth-year option for his contract through 2025. The man is making a name for himself and surely making money too. While the focus is majorly on the gridiron, there is someone off the field who is just as important in Rashawn Slater’s life.

When you look at a man like Rashawn Slater, isn’t it fascinating to know that his wife has that golden retriever energy? Just go have a look at Stassney Brown’s social handles, and you’ll know what I’m talking about. We can pick everything later, but the one thing she’s been loud and clear about is that she’s a Swiftie. You’ll get tired of scrolling through the Taylor Swift content she reposts on her X. She is literally the support system of Slater. You can often see her sharing her man’s achievements on X. For instance, when Slater earned an 89.8 pass-blocking grade in the Week 10 game against the Lions.
Not just that, Stassney can be seen on the sidelines posing and supporting her man too. You’d be wrong if you think that’s it. She found her career through the road of love. I mean, she is a wedding photographer, and all her beautiful work is right there on her Instagram photography page. Her subjects for the pictures are people in love. This proves the fact that she is not just busy making her life beautiful but helping others achieve that as well.

The story of Rashawn Slater and Stassney began six years ago. On December 21, 2020, Slater got down on one knee and took their relationship to the next level by proposing to her. Stassney must be his lucky charm because the very next year, Slater was selected in the NFL draft. That must have strengthened their bond both on and off the field.
On March 5, 2022, after months of planning with the help of Zola, the couple exchanged vows in a heartfelt ceremony. Stassney shared this emotional moment on her X account with the caption, “Mr. and Mrs. Slater,” capturing the joy of their union. With Stassney by his side, Slater is not going to stop until he makes it to the top.
