Tyler Matakevich's game best suits a two-gap 3-4 defense that prioritizes run-stuffing inside linebackers and limits their pass coverage responsibilities to mostly underneath zones.
Initially a core special teamer, Matakevich could develop into a solid rotational inside linebacker with stout run-stopping capabilities.
He would struggle significantly in a Cover-3 match or any scheme that requires him to consistently cover significant ground or man-up against athletic tight ends and running backs.
Matakevich provides old-school physicality and intelligence, making him a valuable asset against the run but limited in modern pass-centric schemes due to his athletic profile.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
