| Tyrann Mathieu NFL future (Posted on 1/22/13 at 11:07 am)
Do you all honestly see him makig an impact t the next level? I think he is very small after seeing him in person he has to be every bit of 5'8 175. Guys will run over him at the next level. I see him as a good college player but not a very good NFL player

Yeah, the SEC is full of wimpy, lightweight, non-physical players.

Who knows? I probably would have thought that JR would be a better pro than Flynn, and look how that turned out. If I were betting, I would bet that TM will not be in the NFL 2 yrs from now.

Thats all im saying he doesnt seem like a long term player. Just seems a bit overhyped and the NFL is a different breed of men (Everyone is good here)

Antoine Winfield disagrees. TM will have a long NFL career.

Will not be a full time corner in NFL but will thrive in that nickel role for a long time and he can return punts and was the best gunner on special teams I've ever seen at LSU!

He's one of the toughest players I've ever seen. He's put guys twice his size on their backs. He reminds me of Antoine Winfield for size and tackling ability. I think he's quicker than Winfield though.
If he can show he can play man coverage, he will do just fine. He will also likely be someone's punt returner too.

Talent and ability are there, for sure. All Pro returner prospect and a damn good nickle back.

He'll definitely find a role on a team whether it's nickel back, safety or special team ace

He'll be a good returner. That's all I see of him. College ball and grown man NFL are too different.

Totally agree. I think he is coming in a little undersized and overrated
