TE Walter Matthews taking practice reps with the OLine, specifically OT. 6'6" 285 with powerful fluid movement. Do we have another Tyron Smith in the making? Could we see some tackle eligible plays?
What I read is that Matthews was spotted hanging out with the OL group during Wednesday's practice but that he didn't stick with the OL group for very long that day and instead rejoined the TE group later in the practice. Also, for the brief period of time he was with the OL group he struggled and looked really raw. And not very physical. Which shouldn't surprise anyone since I don't believe he has ever played OL before.
His dad commented in the spring that Mathews moving to OL wasn't happening. We might be looking at a portal exit after the season. With the OL group coming in next year, competition is going to get tougher.
