Afterwards, the newlyweds announced they were expected their first child.
On the field, Matthews found a new team, as he signed a one-year, $1 million deal with the New England Patriots in April.
I know I’m late but I wanted to take the first couple of days to really reflect on how far the Lord has brought me and what He’s calling me to do in New England. The opportunity to play for the Patriots is the ultimate honor and I’m excited to get to work with the guys! LETS GO!! pic.twitter.com/nro7cRfc9i

As he adjusts to learning the “Patriot Way,” he put the final touches on a goal that took him over a year to complete.
So at 6 am this morning I finally finished reading the Bible in its entirety! It took me 1 year 3 months and 18 days but it’s the best journey I’ll ever take. God’s Word and His Son are the greatest gifts ever given to us and I’m more thankful than ever for both! Love you all!!

“So at 6 am this morning I finally finished reading the Bible in its entirely! It took me 1 year 3 months and 18 days but it’s best journey I’ll ever take. God’s Word and His Son are the greatest gifts even given to us and I’m more thankful than even for both! Love you all,” Matthews Tweeted Wednesday morning.
The four-year veteran also thanked Pastor Francis Chan and the creators of the Read Scripture App for helping him complete his goal.
Oh and shout out to Francis Chan for the @readscripture app! Made it a ton easier to stay diligent!! #HighlyRecommended #WishHeHadATwitter
