The Eagles' base defense was a wide-9 attacking front with one-gap 4-3 principles, emphasizing speed and disruption.
Initially rotational depth and core special teams player, with potential to develop into a starting weakside (Will) linebacker.
A traditional two-gap 3-4 defense that requires linebackers to consistently take on and shed blocks from interior linemen.
Matthews' athletic profile and coverage ability align well with the Eagles' need for fast, versatile linebackers in their attacking 4-3 scheme.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
