One of the Cleveland Browns' undrafted free-agent signees has quite a pedigree.

Mike Matthews, son of Hall of Fame lineman Bruce Matthews and nephew of Browns longtime linebacker Clay Matthews, will be joining the Browns, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Matthews, a center, first must compete to make the team. If he does, he then will be in the mix to succeed Alex Mack.

Matthews' older brother Jake is a starting offensive tackle and a former first round pick for the Atlanta Falcons.

Mike Matthews started for three years and did not give up a sack in the past two seasons.

Among the scouting reports on Matthews is this one from ProFootballFocus.com:

"Jake Matthews’ brother is an excellent interior offensive line prospect. He finished as our 12th overall center, recording solid grades in both pass protection and as a run blocker. Matthews allowed just a single knockdown in 2015, to go with a further seven hurries, culminating in a +7.5 grade. He was only a solid run blocker but was good enough to suggest he can forge a career in the pros."

Matthews was included on Gil Brandt's lengthy list on NFL.com of top undrafted players.
