Reliable rotational DL with a proven knack for disruption
Matai Mata'afa is a tough, active Montana defensive lineman whose value shows up in disruption more than volume: in 2024 he posted 8 total tackles, 1 sack, and a forced fumble after appearing in every game the previous season, and Montana’s roster notes say he was expected to take on an increased role on the D-line and special teams. The appeal is his motor and versatility—he’s a dependable depth piece who flashes in the backfield and fits a physical, high-effort defense.
