How on Earth did Matrick Belton go from a walk-on college football player who had 11 catches in his career to the Philadelphia Eagles rookie minicamp?
“Sit down, this is kind of a wild story,” Belton told The State.
Belton played for South Carolina in 2015 and 2016, joining the team after a year at Hampton University. In 2015, he posted all the numbers that he would — 11 catches for 121 yards in Steve Spurrier’s final season. In 2016, Will Muschamp’s first season, Belton was on the team but didn’t catch any passes and used up his eligibility.
