Phidarian Mathis is best suited for a gap-control 3-4 defense or a 4-3 multiple front that prioritizes stout run defenders on the interior.
Year 1 rotational interior lineman, with the ceiling to become a two-down starter capable of anchoring against the run.
A purely penetrating, one-gap only 4-3 defense that asks its defensive tackles to consistently win with quickness rather than power.
His size, power, and experience in a pro-style defense make him a plug-and-play run defender for schemes needing interior bulk.
Selected #47 overall in Round 2 of the 2022 NFL Draft by Washington Commanders out of Alabama.
