Jake Matthews is a book end right Tackle who will start in the NFL for the next twelve plus years. Matthews played left tackle his senior year while playing right his first three years in college station. Matthews is the type of player who is a plug and play prospect, one who needs very little polishing to become a Joe Thomas type player. Although the Bills already have Erik Pears, they still need a starting caliber RT who will be opposite Cordy Glenn for the next ten to fifteen years. Another upside to Matthews is his bloodline, very few people have as prestigious of a bloodline coming into the NFL. His father Bruce is a Hall of Famer and his cousins are Clay and Riley Matthews, to come from a family like this is a major upside because you can work on a players size and abilities but you can change their genetics and that is something Matthews has in spades.
