I think you misunderstood him.

His quote:

Tyrann Mathieu is undersized as a defensive back at only 5’9 and 186 lbs. His film, and his poor showing at the combine in strength testing showed his inability to match large receivers in their physicality.

Sounds like he is saying his size and strength are question marks.

In 2011, Tennessee Tech’s Da’Rick Rogers (6’2, 217lb) basically carried Mathieu fifteen yards on his back following initial contact, and only went down when Brandon Taylor saved the day with the assist.

At 5'9" and 186 LBS guy sounds like Brandon Banks honestly.

Tim Jennings was my first thought

Excellent ad hominem attack.. I'm glad the one sentence bench press reference is the only thing you took away from my article

Re: Thread Series: The case for/against Tyrann Mathieu

Mathieu just seems like a football player to me. I don't care about his numbers at the Under Armour Olympics. When he's on a football field, he always seems to be making plays, both on defense and teams. If he's still on the board in the 3rd round, then we have to seriously think about taking him.

But to be fair D. Green was 5-9 184 lbs and he did pretty good for himself.

I am curious though if there were many 6'-2"+/220+ lbs receivers in D. Green's day.

Micheal Irvin? 6-2 207. Played him twice a year for many years.

Not everyone is Megatron which is why Megatron is Megatron. Really no one matches up good against him.

Still I think Matthieu size is going to be his downfall in today's NFL.

D Green was one of the most athletic and fastest players to ever play in the NFL. And this was before half the leauge was taking adderall.

I watched Darrel Green, I knew Darrel Green, Darrel Green was a friend of mine. Tyrann Mathieu is no Darrel Green.

Seriously, though. I really don't know the guy's play. From what I have seen, it he looks like a very good college player whose talent makes him an average NFL DB. Add in the off-field issues, I am fine with whatever the FO thinks about him. Personally, with the depth of this draft at his position, I would rather go with the "safer" pick at 2 and 3. If he's there in the 4th, fine.

Also, I get the feeling he would be one of those fan polarizing players (think D.Hall) and, I, for one, I have enough of that drama.
