Sylvester, who played in the league from 2010-14, discussed Slovis’ potential as an NFL player and his fit at the next level during KSL Sports Live on Sunday, April 7.
During his conversation with Jeremiah Jensen, Sylvester said that the BYU standout “has the capability” and “makes NFL throws.”
The former NFL player highlighted Slovis’ performance at the NFL Scouting Combine, where he ran a 4.55-second 40-yard dash.
“You could put him in an offense where you do athletic things,” Sylvester said of the BYU product.

“He wants to throw,” Sylvester said and added that he also has the ability to use his legs.
The big negative in Slovis’ game and highlighted by Sylvester is the number of interceptions the quarterback has thrown.
Slovis has recorded nine games with two or more interceptions and four contests with three or more picks.
The former NFL player believes Slovis can improve with coaching at the next level and projects him joining a team as an undrafted free agent.
