[Tom Pelissero] Former college basketball player Bayron Matos, who has never played in a football game, has a pre-draft visit today with the #Bengals. Eleven other teams have sent OL coaches to work out Matos, who stands 6-7, 313 with 35 1/4-inch arms. A potential sleeper.

1. If it works, it works

2. Would be a nice addition as he wouldnt count towards the 53 …

   >Bayron Matos is an international prospect who’s played football sparingly at any sort of high level. And as an international prospect, **under the NFL’s International Pathway Program, he won’t count against a team’s overall roster**, a major benefit for a team looking to develop Matos over a few years.

   >He posted a 4.90-second 40-yard dash time, a 9-foot-5 broad jump and a 7.64-second short shuttle at 6-foot-7, 313 pounds, and many scouts project him to be a guard at the NFL level. After his workout and roster exempt status, it feels like he has a very good chance to be a draft pick.

3. Oh, this feels like such a Bengal pic probably three rounds before anybody else would pick him

4. DJ Burns would be nice too

5. As long as he’s a 6th or 7th, I don’t care. Just don’t be another Margus Hunt

6. I’d be happy with a late flyer but I’m not sure we have the track record to develop someone this raw.

7. Can he punt
