Cincinnati
Mathews's playstyle and size are best suited for an attacking, one-gap 4-3 defense, leveraging his burst and quickness to penetrate gaps.
Year 1 rotational interior pass rusher with potential to develop into an effective starting 3-technique.
He would be a poor fit in a two-gap 3-4 defense that relies on interior linemen to anchor and control multiple gaps.
