Eagles Offensive Lineman Shows Off Incredible Strength by Catching RB Ryan Matthews in Mid-Air

The 6-foot-4, 328-pound offensive lineman set the Internet abuzz when he caught his teammate, running back Ryan Matthews, upside-down in midair as he dove over a Browns defender into the end zone, turned him back upright and set him down on his feet. At 6 feet and 220 pounds, Matthews isn’t what’d you call light, but Peters had no issue handling him like a sack of flour and saving his running back from potentially landing awkwardly in the end zone.
