I think Matthews has a ton of potential and is very versatile. I'm really rooting for him.
might be an instance where we can give ireland some credit. looks like he could be a player, i would be happy if we could get bess like numbers or performance from him, or a bess like career arc.
i was making the connection, overlooked prospect, very productive in college...late round/undrafted player to hopefully have a big impact for us
I want him on the team just because Omar says he'll be cut
I said after the draft that Cunningham and Fuller are total garbage & the only receiver who has a shot to make the team is Rishard Matthews. If one makes it, 100% it will be Matthews. At the very least he will make it further through the cuts than the other 2 worthless players.
Gil Brandt on Matthews Pro Day
Rishard Matthews, WR (6-1 1/2, 209) — Matthews really blew my socks off. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.44 and 4.48 seconds, and stayed on his vertical from the combine. He notched a 10-3 broad jump and kept his shuttle, three-cone and bench. He had an outstanding workout. Scouts said it was as good a workout as they’ve seen from a receiver. Matthews caught the ball and got speed. There are lots and lots of receivers in this draft, but Matthews managed to elevate his status with his performance. I would imagine that he’s now a second-round pick.
Amazing how opinions can vary. Did anyone else have him rated as high or just Brandt?
