Jordan Matthews: Moving to tight end
Matthews has put on about 15 pounds in an effort to transition to tight end, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Matthews appeared in five NFL games over the past two seasons and was unable to earn regular snaps despite playing for teams in Philadelphia and San Francisco that were sorely in need of help at wide receiver. The 2014 second-round pick started his NFL career with three consecutive 800-yard seasons, but he's now approaching his age-29 campaign and doesn't appear to have a future in the league as a wide receiver. Matthews hopes to generate some interest with his move to tight end, and he's already bulked up to 236.5 pounds, about 10-to-20 pounds below the typical weight for an NFL starter at the position. He's currently a free agent, and he isn't likely to be ready for significant playing time at tight end early in season. A practice squad spot seems more likely than a roster spot.
