I will make an exception for Tyann Matthieu. LSU used to play him in a nickel a lot, but it is because he could play like a small OLB. Strong against the run, blitz, and cover slot Receivers.


So what you're saying is his skill set better suits playing nickel over CB?

I think he is without a position. When he plays inside in a nickel it is almost like staying in a base defense, because he can play against the run well, and blitz as well as drop into coverage.
But he is too small to hold up there all the time, so clearly he has to play something.

But how many players out there are there that have Tyrann's Skill set?

No one.
