Doubt it.
Pretty high expectations expecting a rookie to be a top 5 RB before even playing one game.

Sure, but Matthews was the perfect fit for that team and was an absolute terror in college. Since they've (the Chargers) been offensively schemed for LT, it's a perfect opportunity for Matthews to come in and have the team not miss a beat. RB is probably the easiest position for a rookie to have success with and it's a perfect scenario for both Matthews and the Chargers.
You never know how things end up, but if anyone has a chance to put up huge numbers as a rookie at running back, Matthews is the one I'd bet on.
