Heads to Nation's Capital The Commanders selected Mathis in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 47th overall.

Impact Washington's affinity for Alabama defenders is on display again with the Mathis selection. Mathis is a big presence at 6-foot-4 and 310 pounds with big hands and long arms. Despite not being a standout athlete, Mathis was a productive part of the Crimson Tide's defense. He racked up 9.0 sacks and 12.0 tackles for loss as a fifth-year senior in 2021. Mathis will settle in behind former Alabama defensive tackles Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen in the middle of the Washington defense.
