On Wednesday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson broke the news that the league requested offensive lineman Bayron Matos to attend Day 3 of next week’s draft. Why would the NFL do such a thing when they limited their pool of attendants for the first round to just 13 prospects this year, you might ask? Well, the answer is Matos’ interesting background.
As I have reported in the past, the two international player pathways (IPP) prospects who are expected to have a chance of being drafted in this year’s class are Matos and fellow offensive lineman Travis Clayton.
