Question about TM7

Does anyone know if he played any offensive position in high school? He seems to have pretty good hands and is quick. Just curious he seems fearless out there returning punts and was just thinking of him being used on offense to give a spark or wrinkle every now and then.

He did. he said so in an interview in the reville.

ETA: Here's the excerpt:
quote:
The defensive back said his nose for the football goes back to his days on offense in high school and Pee Wee leagues.
"I loved offense because I like the ball in my hands, but playing defense you don't see it as much," he said. "On defense you're around the ball as much as you put yourself in position. So I'm trying to make every strip or fumble, get my hands in there every play."
Miles said Mathieu's ball-hawking approach contributed to the four turnovers the LSU defense forced against the Ducks.
"You can have this vision, ‘I need to make a tackle, strip the ball and when the ball bounces, it's going to bounce to me, and I'm going to score.' And it really is that mindset that Tyrann Mathieu has," Miles said. "There's not a play that he doesn't have the opportunity to make or that he's out of. That thought process is infectious."

He'll probably house a punt this weekend.

Yep he played alot of "situational" defense, he scored 2 touchdowns against my team week 1 of the 2009 hs football season

Tyrann was a bad azz wide receiver at St. Aug. I watched him pipe 3 defenders in the end zone against Lagrange. No lie. He can play receiver really well. He also got some shots at running back, believe it or not.
The kid is just a raw athlete.

I dont think anyone would doubt that with his athleticism

Yeah Camdens right. I see him standing in the endzone after a big punt return. I told myself all summer that theres no way the kid can have another year like he did last year. Week 1, 7.5 tackles(which I rewatched the game that number may be low HA) FF and FR for td. The guy is offense on deffense.
