re: Tyrann Mathieu NFL future

Wes Welker, Trindon Holliday, and Russell Wilson are not of the typical size. They have made impacts. He can do it.

and none of them play the same position as tyrann. and outliers don't hold much, if any, predictive value.

Remember, people didn't see him competing at the Division 1 level either.

what does this even mean?

I'll just say this: Tyrann was an ourstanding college football player, one of the best to ever play in the SEC. However, that doesn't mean he'll be a great NFL player. He has a ton to overcome with his size and average speed. He has great quickness and football instincts, but the NFL is an entirely different game than college. I feel like a lot of y'all are going to be very disappointed. I hope I'm wrong because I still like the guy, but it's more likely he'll be average or out of the league in a few years than be an all-pro like many on here are advocating
