## Resource

Phidarian Mathis, once labeled a draft bust after limited snaps in Washington and a brief Jets stint, is finally finding his niche with the Buffalo Bills. After bouncing between teams, he’s now a key piece in Buffalo’s new defensive scheme, built around his Alabama roots. A four-year All-American at Alabama under Nick Saban, Mathis thrived as a run-stopper and two-gapper, missing only five tackles in college. His massive frame—6’4”, 300+ pounds—makes him a perfect anchor against double teams. Though he wasn’t a pass rusher, his role was always about controlling the line of scrimmage. Last year, he struggled under Buffalo’s old scheme, but new DC Jim Leonhard is retooling him to play where he excels: on the outside shoulder of tackles. At 28, Mathis is poised for a breakout season, with the potential to finally live up to his second-round draft status and prove he’s not a bust.
