Draft Rewind 2005 – Evan Mathis – Philadelphia Eagles

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about EVAN MATHIS: Alabama, 6052 304 4.96.  Tendency to play high and stops feet on contact. Will drop head in both pass and run blocking and goes to ground. Ties up defensive tackle. Wall off and position blocker. Good fold block to wall off linebacker second level. Good size, athletic ability and experience on both sides of the center.  A tough player who battles and plays on his feet with good awareness.  An effective position blocker with good initial quickness to get upfield and gain position in-line.  Uses his body to wall and feet and hands to sustain.  Has good speed to get downfield, but is just average in space and pass protection.  Has good awareness to pick up stunts.  Feet to slide and cutoff, but struggles some to readjust on the edge. Originally drafted by Carolina.
