Reports one scout: "What can you say about a huge roughneck who is fast enough to overhaul running backs downfield? He may be the first pick." Matuszak has been terrorizing opposing backs all season long. A punishing pass rusher, he is a "devastating force" who has "that special instinct for sensing where the play is going."
