Mathieu will be a free safety in the NFL.

I think he is too short to be utilized correctly playing the outside CB. He is best used as a joker/Charles Woodson hybrid mode. TM7 with 15 more pounds would be an elite pro prospect. His instincts, ball hawking skills, and being one of the best tackler in the game will make you ask Laron who?

first off there are alot of good corners at his height. second Charles Woodson plays outside corner 85 percent of the time.

TM7 will be a corner in the NFL, though he could easily play safety if thats what his team needs, I hope this Lance Moore didn't read video catches on

This has crossed my mind before but, it wasn't because of his height, it was more about the other things. BTW, I know it's the exception but, Darrell Green played CB at 5'9
until he was 40

If he pays, I think it will be the nickel

He can be a #1 starter at cornerback in a zone-heavy system, & would probably be an excellent nickel back. If he continues to grow & doesn't lose speed, he could progress past that point.

He would have to put on at least 20 lbs of muscle. Don't see that happening.

O/U number of "what happened to TM7" if next year his numbers dip?

Dont kid yourselves,
Although TM7 is quick and a great punt returner he doesn't have the straight line speed to play 100% corner in the NFL.
I don't know what his 40 time is exactly, and would like to know if anybody would tell me, but based off the games he has played this year its obvious that one of his strengths is the acceleration from (0-10) yards. He drives his base foot into the ground and explodes, which is why he excels in slot coverage.
What really separates TM7 from EVERYONE else on the field is his play recognition
TM7 would be on the field every down at one of the safety positions if Eric Reid wasn't so damn good at it.
TM7 will be a safety playing safety and a few snaps at corner a game.

Tyrann Mathieu CB 5-9 175 So.
LaRon Landry FS 6-2 187 So
LaRon Landry FS 6-2 204 Jr.
LaRon Landry FS 6-2 202 Sr.
those 5" makes a HUGE difference.

I could see a little Sammy Knight in him
More likely a nickel

Green was the fastest man in the NFL.

His role will likely never change. He'll be a roving corner, moving around the field, sometimes blitzing, sometimes dropping, etc.

His one start at safety he played pretty damn well... i dont think size has a lot to do with it if youre a baller.
See Bob Sanders and Troy Palomalu (sp?). I dont think those guys are too big, but they seem to always be near the ball making a play.
Sounds familiar?
