quote:The Packers selected Nick Perry in the first round of the draft last month and are playing him at left outside linebacker, which was Matthews’ position the last two years.
Matthews thus is moving to right outside linebacker, his position as a rookie in 2009. Matthews made the change Tuesday at the Packers’ first organized team activities practice.

“We work in unison together, so obviously he needs to look to me to give him advice,” Matthews said. “We’re going to be working together on the field a lot, so I need to be a mentor towards him...I think that’s the natural progression of not only having the same position on the field, but me, as far as my maturation, going into my fourth year, and believing that I can be a leader.”
