• The Vanderbilt product fondly remembers his pre-draft
conversation with the Hall of Famer. “The conversation that
sticks out most with me was the one that we had before the
whole draft process,” said Matthews. “[Rice] told me that every
checkpoint that you go to, go into it like you’re the best one
there. Not to use a cliché, but own the moment. Really feel that
there’s no one there that can mess with me”
• Matthews didn’t start playing football until he became the
subject of some playful ribbing from his classmates in grade
school. “I was getting made fun of by my friends because I
played soccer,” he said. “I was really good at soccer and had
really good feet. I was asked to join a couple of travel teams,
but I was getting made fun of by some of my best friends. So, it
was time to go play football”
