His 8.8 YPA in a seven-game analysis of the toughest passing offenses LSU faced last year (of which Mathieu played in only six because of a suspension) was higher than the YPA marks posted by Morris Claiborne (7.5) and Tharold Simon (3.6) in those same contests. Mathieu didn't make up for the higher YPA in the interception department, either, as his two picks were only equal to Simon's interception mark and were far behind Claiborne's team-leading six picks. Mathieu's big-play potential on special teams would certainly warrant his selection as a top player in that area, but when it comes to cornerback play, his history says he is more apt to give up a big play than he is to make one.


I'm not linking the whole page, because I know thats not looked highly upon, but this is what they say about Tyrann.

KC Joyner is a spreadsheet guy, and not a very good one at that. He tries to replicate what FootballOutsiders and ProFootballFocus does, except his stats are very meh to say the least.

No one can really take this seriously. Tyrann Mathieu is the best player in college football.

I'm not reading this entire thread but all you have to do is post his defensive statistics over the last two years and it should stop anyone from continuing to call him overrated. He's the single most productive LSU defensive player in my lifetime and he's only going to be a junior. Kid is amazing.

Lock down DB? Yes he is not in the class of many including those on the bench at LSU. Football player? He is one of the best in the entire country. Dude is a beast.
This should serve as motivation.
