Matthews has survived because he has good hands and speed (4.44 in the 40) and size (6-0) and displayed a physicality in competing for balls in the air.
NFL.com’s Gil Brandt said he expected Matthews to be drafted far higher after a late-March on-campus workout when he “blew my socks off. Scouts said it was as good a workout as they have seen from a receiver” last spring.
But Matthews said his stock dropped because at the NFL Combine, he wasn’t fully healed from a knee injury.
Moore said Matthews reminds him of Baltimore’s Anquan Bolden because of his physical play, and Matthews has been studying Bolden’s tapes on YouTube.

We already know what we have in Marlon Moore.
Seems he has already had chance after chance and just doesn't get it done.
I'd rather move on.P h i N s A N i T y and djphinfan like this. -

So...by studying his tapes on YouTube, Matthews watched some highlight vids with bad rock music?

So Sean Smith is happy with his play, hmmm, I wonder if he'll be happy with a smaller contract.

I'm sure he'd be happier playing with supporting cast of corners that wouldn't struggle to be more than a 4th or 5th cornerback on most NFL teams.

We're 5-8 we better be ready to play any WR on our Roster.. Throw them in the fire see what they can do. Matthews, Moore, Clay, and Egnew all need to see playing time.
