He's a hell of a playmaker, but a good cornerback he is not. He's coverage skills are not good. Why he was voted All-American at cornerback is beyond me.
I disagree. I think he's at least an adequate cover corner. He was in position to make plays. He's just too short to contend for a well thrown ball to a tall receiver. Norwood and Hanks are both probably 5-7 inches taller than Mathieu, and McCarron was putting the ball where only they could go up and get it.

He was right on Norwood on a lot of those passes, but had no chance to make a play do to size differences and ball placement. He never got seriously burnt on any play. He was just at a size disadvantage and AJ was having the game of his life.
