Falcons are gushing over Matthews’ start to camp
Falcons rookie right tackle Jake Matthews is continuing to draw raves.
Peter King, the editor of TheMMQB.com, is making his rounds to different training camps around the league. He was here last week.
King chatted about his top three thoughts on SiriusXM NFL radio this morning. His second item was on the Falcons and the size of their offensive and defensive lines.
“A quick little picture in my practice day with the Falcons: Jake Matthews (was) in the two-minute drill (and) playing right tackle. “(He) stoned the pass rusher on seven consecutive hurry-up snaps in the two-minute drill. Let me tell you, when the Falcons saw that, they said, ‘We haven’t seen this in years. A right tackle who could actually stop people.’ ”
