He came to A&M as a walk-on and started at center the last couple years. The Aggie OL was a mess in 2008 and had some rough games this past season but improved overall. Matthews isn't the athlete his father was so I don't think he'll wow anybody at the combine or pre-draft workouts. He seemed pretty solid when I watched him and should have been exposed to NFL-style coaching and technique under Mike Sherman.

Thanks! He's got the genes.... It will be interesting to see if someone selects him based on upside...
