I think you misunderstood him.
His quote:
Tyrann Mathieu is undersized as a defensive back at only 5’9 and 186 lbs. His film, and his poor showing at the combine in strength testing showed his inability to match large receivers in their physicality.
Sounds like he is saying his size and strength are question marks.
In 2011, Tennessee Tech’s Da’Rick Rogers (6’2, 217lb) basically carried Mathieu fifteen yards on his back following initial contact, and only went down when Brandon Taylor saved the day with the assist.
At 5'9" and 186 LBS guy sounds like Brandon Banks honestly.
