Such is the chosen life for any offensive lineman and the Atlanta Falcons left tackle doesn’t mind.
The Falcons offensive tackle Jake Matthews has been incredible the last two seasons and most fans have no idea. Matthews had a terrible play in Super Bowl LI when he was called for a hold which negated a big pass play from Matt Ryan and knocked the Falcons out of field goal range.
Since that play Matthews has elevated his game. In fact, Jake Matthews is currently the most underrated offensive lineman in the NFL.
When the Atlanta Falcons gave him the extension many fans were skeptical paying him that much.
