Quote:I saw a small blurb about that. I'm glad to see he's still preforming at a pretty high level going on age 35.

 

It's not likely that Rashean Mathis or any CB is going to become a modern day version of Darrell Green when it comes to playing at a pretty high level around 40.   Yet,  the way Mathis has performed the last two seasons is more than I ever could have imagined when he signed with the Lions in the middle of the 2013 pre-season,  when the team had a problematic CB situation.   As well as Mathis produced on the field,  his value as a leader and mentor is huge as well.  

 

When one looks back at the first 20 seasons in Jaguars history,  other than Tony Boselli and Fred Taylor,  I think Rashean Mathis ranks in a very select group of players the franchise has had.
