- Plays with natural bend and strength at the point of attack and does not get washed out like many defensive ends because of his anchor.
- He’s a high-effort pass rusher with an impressive combination of length and speed.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Mathis remains a bit raw, as Mathis is inconsistent with his hand use
- Lean lower body - must improve core and leg strength. Suspect body flexibility and tight hips.
- As a pass rusher, he needs the scheme to create deception and confusion to give him a free run.
