I was great to see Mazi get on the stat sheet and make a few plays, but I am still concerned about the way his physical traits aren’t translating onto the field.
For his size, he tested out as a ludicrously explosive athlete at the combine and his pro day, but he is slower off the ball than almost any player I’ve ever seen.
In the weight room he is renowned for brute strength, but he plays much lighter than he is. He struggles to anchor.
I would at least hope to see those traits being shown off by a developmental prospect like himself even if the technique and football IQ needed work.
Hopefully last week gives him some confidence to build on.
