“Evan Mathis has been a guy PFF has championed for years, right back to his time as a backup guard with the Bengals,” PFF's Sam Monson told me via email. “Why?

When he finally got his shot to start in Philadelphia, he set about playing like the best guard in football.
Absolutely fantastic article. Watch Mathis grade his own film, confess to missed assignments, explain schemes and the like.
