Jordan Matthews, NFL Wide Receiver

Episode 131 Jordan Matthews is a wide receiver with the New England Patriots. He was selected in the 2nd round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles and played 3 seasons there.  In August 2017, he was traded from Philadelphia to Buffalo and spent last season with the Bills. A few months later, in April of 2018, he signed a 1-year deal with the Patriots. Jordan attended Vanderbilt University, where he had 262 receptions for 3,759 yards and 24 touchdowns, setting many school records. The athletic pedigree for Jordan runs in the family as his second cousin is former NFL hall of fame Jerry Rice.  On this episode of the podcast, we talk with Jordan about his passion to serve, transitioning from the Eagles, Bills and now with the Patriots, why his wife is his best friend, how an Eagles teammate helped him grow spiritually, and why he says his identity is not found in his job as a football player.
