Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Chris Matthews: From unknown hero to second-year question mark

Despite being named to the Seahawks’ 53-man roster in December 2014, wide receiver Chris Matthews became a household name — at least in Seattle — in just a mere two months.

The 6-foot-5, 218-pound wide receiver made arguably two of the biggest plays of the Seahawks’ 2014 season with his onside kick recovery during the NFC championship game, then followed it up with his first career NFL touchdown in Super Bowl XLIX.
