Recently, Matthew autographed a couple of jerseys for a young fan, Reilly Parent. Reilly is a 10 year old boy that was born with a congenital defect of the bones and needs a wheelchair to move around.

Lions bring in help for Stafford

The Detroit Lions have signed another offensive weapon for Matthew, former Seattle Seahawks WR Nate Burleson. The Lions also added DE Kyle Vanden Bosch and DT Corey Williams to the defense, which will hopefully improve enough to keep the offense from playing from behind virtually every week. Hopefully that translates into Matthew not leading the league in pass attempts two years in a row.
