There are some all-time greats in that 190-200 lb range...Gale Sayers, Johnny Unitas, Deion Sanders, Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice.

I personally think Tm7 is the best playmaking football player I've ever seen....pound for pound? There are alot of other players that could be mentioned in that convo but playmaker no other player comes close to honeybadger

I don’t know Mathieu’s playing weight now, but at LSU it was 176 lb or so, if I recall correctly. At least during his freshman year. LSU has never had a player that small make as big a contribution as Matthieu did.

Deion Sanders was probably the best defensive player of all time. He is the only defensive back I've ever seen who truly could erase any receiver who ever played. Lawrence Taylor is the only guy I would put in the debate for best defensive player of all time.
