San Francisco 49ers: Why Jordan Matthews makes the final roster

The San Francisco 49ers signed wide receiver Jordan Matthews to a one-year prove it deal during this year’s free-agency period.

With the Niners requiring some much-needed depth at the position, the signing of a veteran receiver came as no real surprise.

The Philadelphia Eagles drafted Matthews back in 2014, where he spent a total of four years in Philadelphia and one year with the Buffalo Bills. While he has seen a drop off in production over the past two seasons, Matthews had three seasons with over 800 receiving yards. One of which was three yards shy of making it a 1,000-yard season.
