Based on his impressive body type, long arms and basketball background, it won’t be a shock if Matos is selected late in this year’s draft even though he never took a snap in a college football game. Matos is a decent athlete, but he’s not as sudden or fluid in his lateral movements as I expected. His pro-day workout featured good protection posture and inside hands with a crisp punch, but he’ll need extensive practice time and coaching to get to where he needs to be as a pro. He’s likely to be stashed on a practice squad early on in his career.
