"I'm so excited, man. I'm so jacked up", he said on the Zach Gelb Show recently about facing his former team this weekend in the first round of the playoffs. "They gave me this opportunity to be able to play in this league. They drafted me, seventh round. Never forget it, like it was yesterday".
While he has only logged 283 defensive snaps in his NFL career, Matakevich has played more than 2,500 on special teams, including 1,356 over the past four years for the Bills. That's how he's put up the majority of his 132 career tackles, annually one of the more distinguished special teams players in the league, even if he could never make a Pro Bowl over the New England Patriots' Matthew Slater.
