Mayock: Teams grading Mathieu in 4th round
Tyrann Mathieu - DB - College Player
Feb. 19, 2013 - 12:55 AM ET

According to NFL Network's Mike Mayock, the NFL teams he's spoken to have fourth-round grades on LSU CB Tyrann Mathieu.

Mathieu will be off many boards after getting booted from LSU for repeated drug use, but there are teams that'd take the onetime Heisman finalist in the mid to late rounds. "A lot of people have him as a nickel and a kick returner," Mayock said. "I don't think he's going to run better than a 4.5, 4.55. If he does, that will help him. So, most teams I've talked to have him more in the fourth round. They don't think he's very big, he's not going to run very fast, and he's had off-the-field issues."
