Matthew Steven Lehr (born April 25, 1979 in Jacksonville, Florida) is an American football offensive guard in the NFL on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In 2005, he started his fifth season.

He has also played for the Dallas Cowboys and St. Louis Rams. He played college football at Virginia Tech and graduated from Woodbridge Senior High School in Woodbridge, Virginia.

On October 17, 2006 he was suspended for four games due to violating the NFL Substance Abuse Policy. He was found to have ephedrine in his system during random tests. He did NOT test positive for any anabolic steriods. Ephedrine is a substance that is sold over-the-counter for weight-loss (acts as a fat-loss catalyst). It does, however, remain on the banned substance list because if taken excessively it can cause strain the heart.

Lehr was a 5th round pick by the Cowboys in 2001 and played for us from 2001 to 2004, starting every game in 2003. We cut him in mid-season of 2004 and he was picked up by the Rams. I don't believe he played for them and was cut after the season.

In 2005 the Falcons signed him and he played for them for 2 years starting 26 games. He was cut following the 2006 season and was signed by the Bucs for this season but has not started any games for them.

Lehr has never played for the Rams. He has played for the Cowboys, Falcons, and Bucs.

If that is true then I now understand why my professors never allowed us to use Wikipedia :eek::

I had checked that too, but I knew it had to be wrong. I was sure he had played for the Falcons. I got my confirmation here.

Maybe he spent some time there in training camp or something, but he's never played for them (Pretty sure). But I know he's played for the Falcons.

Lehr is the type of fringe player that would probably do anything he could to try to stay in the league. I'm not saying he's guilty of using steriods, but that type of player usually fits the profile. I'll bet that most of the baseball players that come out in the Mitchell report are guys barely hanging on and looking for a performance edge or trying to recover from an injury. Injured fringe players don't get many second chances because their is always a healthy one to replace marginal talent.
