Matthew Bedford brings veteran versatility and real pass-protection value to Oregon’s offensive line
Bedford is a **size-and-experience** guard/tackle with 39 career starts across four offensive-line spots, and his best value is flexibility plus steady pass protection rather than flashy highlights. In 2023 at Indiana, he started all 12 games and allowed just one sack in 755 snaps, then at Oregon he flashed in a limited 2024 role before injury, earning a 75.4 PFF grade on 82 snaps. The big question is durability, but when healthy he looks like a dependable, high-floor fit for a team that wants a mature, assignment-sound blocker who can plug multiple holes.
