Some proposed changes
This wiki about Jordan Matthews is missing some pretty important information that I am not able to add due to conflict of interest and some of the information is coming directly from his Vanderbilt bio. If someone could take the added information below and add it so that it complies with Wikipedia rules it would be greatly appreciated. 1. Early life and High School Matthews was born on July 16, 1992, in Huntsville, AL. He attended Madison Academy where he lettered in football and basketball.

2. Personal Life Matthews parents are Brenda and Rod Matthews. He has one brother, Justin. Matthews is married to Washington Spirit soccer player Cheyna Williams, who also attended Vanderbilt before graduating from Florida State University.

Matthews is related to Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice, as his mother is Rice's cousin.[26] Matthews is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.

3. Charity

Matthews Mission’s inaugural event was a 7 on 7 Flag Football Challenge that was held on Saturday 25 June 2016 at Madison Academy in Madison, AL. In addition to the Co-ed Flag football tournament a combine for 6, 7 and 8th grade boys and girls was held. All proceeds went to New Futures Family Lodge, which is a nonprofit agency that serves displaced families with a focus on the complete family and a goal of financial & family stability.

In 2017, Matthews Mission hosted an evening rap session with the Boys and Girls Clubs of North Alabama Jordan spoke on the importance of time management and staying focused on your overall goal. He presented the club with a grant to support the building of a Science, Technology, Engineering, and, Math (STEM) Lab. Next stop was a mid-day shoot around with the Boys and Girls Club of Middle Tennessee. He discussed the importance of healthy eating habits and donated a grant to support this effort. Finally, at the Boys and Girl Club of Philadelphia he focused on literacy as the spokesman for the Call-to-Action Literacy Initiative. This grant to the club supports the overall literacy program.

Jordan went on a mission trip to Port-au-Prince, Haiti to serve people in the area. He shared his faith with the locals, pitched in to do house painting, played with children and attended church service.

July 5, 2017, Matthews Mission hosted a charity basketball game where his "Vandy Heroes took on "Real Heroes (teachers, soldiers, police officers, and firefighters)",who made a difference in the community. All funds raised benefited the YWCA and AMEND of Nashville.

Matthews Mission donated thousands of dollars in support of water being donated to Puerto Rico for the victims devastated by Hurricane Maria. The “Warfighter - Disaster Response Team” comprised of Afghanistan & Iraq combat Veterans & Fire/Rescue team members was the team on the ground and distributed the water to help those in need. http://www.jordanmatthewsmission.org/

Patriots roster status
Patriots beat writer Mike Reiss cleared up the conflicting reports this morning: "Because he was injured, the Patriots first placed Matthews on injured reserve and then reached an injury settlement with the receiver that allows him to play again later this season, if healthy." Thus, he was on IR but is no longer on the roster in any form. DNOMN8R3.14 (talk) 02:23, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Wide receiver vs. tight end
