Mathis obviously possessed the tools to be regarded as one the top players at his position. Seems like a failure on the part of his position coach while he was in Cincy, wouldn't you agree?

Mathis played great under Alexander in '09. He was starting in fron of Livings until he got injured. But in 2010 he was fat and out of shape. Mathis evcen posted a video on line showing how bad out of shape he was at the end of the 2010 season. That is why he had to settle for a league minimum contract in free agency.
