Tennessee wide receiver Bru McCoy details what makes wide receiver Mike Matthews so special at the NFL scouting combine.

The Tennessee Volunteers have a good number of former players representing the program at the NFL Combine this week. One of which is wide receiver Bru McCoy and he had the opportunity to speak to the media on Friday.

During his time at the podium Tennessee Volunteers on SI asked McCoy about the up and coming wide receiver Mike Matthews and what makes him so special. McCoy went on to detail Matthews' work ethic and added in a story he had about working out with the young Volunteer this offseason.

Matthews was rated as a five-star prospect coming out of Parkview High School in the state of Georgia. Matthews showed flashes of his potential during his first spring game last year and finished his 2024 season with seven receptions for 90 yards and two touchdowns.

Tennessee had multiple wide receivers depart the roster this offseason which means Matthews will likely see an expanded role in the offense. He hasn't quite yet showed his full potential, but if he works as hard as McCoy says he does, Volunteer fans will likely have nothing to worry about.
