What the History Says
The Falcons selected Jake Matthews with their 6th pick in the 2014 NFL draft. A family lineage dating back to 1983, Jake’s father and Grandfather played professional football. Jake has a long list of historical roots in the NFL. He is the 7th Matthews to compete in the league. You might have heard of his cousin, Clay Matthews, Green Bay Packers’ outside linebacker.
What His Play Says
Matthews has solidified himself as one of the top offensive tackles in the league over his tenure and is now the 3rd highest paid offensive lineman on an annual value basis. He has shown durability starting 63 of 64 games of his NFL regular season career. Jake protected Matt Ryan’s blindside in his 2016 MVP season. Matthews was starting his 5thseason under the final year of his rookie contract. He will now make $75 million over the next 5 years and he will be protecting Ryan’s behind through 2023.
