    Excellent. It may just be another Jarrett Payton scenario, but I just plain like the idea of having a part of Bruce Matthews back on this roster. I feel sorry for him though - his father and uncle were both great, his cousin was a first round(?) pick... Such incredible standards to live up to!!

    Kevin Matthews C, Texas A&M
    NFP Grade: 6.2

    Scouting Report:
    Kevin Matthews: No. 63, OC, 6-4, 310

    A big, thickly built center who does a great job getting his hands up initially under opposing linemen and gaining leverage, Matthews displays an average first step off the ball but can get into blocks quickly because of his great hands. He stays on opposing tackles as an inline guy, but he lacks ideal quickness off the ball when trying to reach linemen off his frame and isn't fluid on the move. He displays impressive balance and power on contact and can anchor vs. the bull-rush. He does a nice job locking on to defenders in the pass game and is a Velcro player.

    He's a better lateral athlete than given credit for and looks a lot more comfortable sliding his feet in pass protection than he does in the run game. He looks natural taking proper angles at the second level but isn't the type of balanced athlete to chip and get downfield. Kevin is the son of former All-Pro Bruce Matthews, and you can tell he has a great feel for the game. He has great hands and plays with leverage but is a limited athlete in the run game.

    Grade: 6.2

    no i believe that was a rumor; not a rumor but they wanted to make him O.Coordinator, but they didnt get him, he is still with us. thank god, i love our line coaches - i think they are arguably the best respectively.


    As for Mathews, gambling on that gene pool is about as safe as it may get.

    If only they could have combined the genes of Matthews and Munoz. Both of those guys had kids that were not quite up to their standard. Munoz son was decent but had bad knees.

    Jarrett Payton, Alex Mortensen... now Kevin Matthews. Fisher seems to like bringing in famous sons and then having them not make the team. I don't really get it.

    What does it hurt if they are in camp? At least he's willing to give them a shot after spending their entire lives playing ball and dreaming of the NFL. At least they are able to tell their kids someday that they played in the NFL.
