If Mat wasn't a professional football player he would definitely be a professional bow hunter with his own YouTube channel and website dedicated to the art of bow hunting.
Ever since growing up in rural Minnesota, hunting has really been a way of life for Mat. He loves to take to the land and survive off of it. He grew up mostly hunting deer and elk with his father and grandfather, while hunting grouse with his uncle. He had always hunted with rifles up until halfway through his college experience, when he saw people hunting online with compound bows.
He immediately went out and bought a compound bow and began practicing every chance he got. He has found that the skill with drawing back a bow, maintaining your breathing and steadying your heart beat really gives him a much more raw feeling. It's something that he has really enjoyed, and every offseason he goes out hunting. He really feels like the stalk and the need to get much closer to the prey is part of the primal feeling that he loves.
When he retires or if he never played football, Mat really wants to set up a channel that documents his hunting exploits, allowing people to get involved with the art. He also wants to set up some videos about archery in general. Share the sport he loves with the world.
