Eagles | Casey Matthews projected to start Fri Jul 29, 11:07 AM
Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Juan Castillo said rookie LB Casey Matthews is the team's starting middle linebacker because 'he's a natural leader.'
| Footballguys view: Casey is not the same player as his brother, Packers LB Clay Matthews. Casey is a smart, instinctive player who has a nose for the football. However, he lacks the speed and quickness to make many plays outside the tackle box. He also lacks the size to hold up against O-Linemen who get to the second level on run plays. |

Falcons | Casey Matthews to work out Fri Apr 8, 10:11 AM
Oregon LB Casey Matthews is scheduled to conduct a private workout for the Atlanta Falcons Sunday, April 10, reports Aaron Wilson, of NationalFootballPost.com.
| Footballguys view: Matthews isn't an elite prospect like his brother, Packers LB Clay Matthews, but he still could be a solid pro. He has very good instincts and knows how to get to the football consistently. Matthews is a sound tackler who does hit with force. He's a smaller player and can get swallowed up by bigger linemen when they get to the second level. |

NFL | Casey Matthews participates in Pro Day Fri Mar 11, 02:12 PM
University of Oregon LB Casey Matthews measured 6-foot-1 1/2, 232 pounds at his Pro Day Thursday, March 10, reports Gil Brandt, of NFL.com. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.79 seconds and 4.80 seconds, the short shuttle in 4.13 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.09 seconds. He also measured a 32 1/2-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-5 broad jump.
| Footballguys view: Matthews isn't the playmaker or first-round talent that his brother Clay is. However, he's always around the football and has a tremendous work ethic. He's a smaller player and does tend to get caught up in the wash when running down a play. We feel Matthews will be a fourth-round pick who can help with depth and on special teams. |
