*Alexander Mattison – Noteworthy
After producing thousands of yards and hundreds of points for the Boise State football offense, former Bronco stars Alexander Mattison and Brett Rypien will get to show their talents firsthand to the NFL this week. Both are in Indianapolis for the annual NFL Scouting Combine, an opportunity to impress in workouts and get in front of the league’s decision-makers before April’s draft. Mattison, who was measured at 5-foot-10 (and 5/8s), 221 pounds on Wednesday, will meet with the media and do the bench press Thursday. He will take part in on-field workouts with the other running backs Friday, including the 40-yard dash. “I didn’t get to run the 40 last year in (offseason training) because I was coming off ankle surgery, so I’m looking forward to it,” Mattison said last month. “I know there are questions about my top-end speed, so running around a 4.5 (second time) or in the 4.4s would be big.” – Idaho Statesman
