If the start of Mini Camp is any indication, San Diego's first-round pick Ryan Mathews already has support in the locker room.
“The first thing that stood out to me was how big he was. He’s definitely got really good size,” Rivers said. “You see the vision. It comes natural to him.”
Natural or not, the 6-foot, 218-pound running back from Fresno State admitted to combating nerves as he processed a large amount of information, introductions and expectations.
“I wasn’t expecting how intense it was, but I’ll get used to it,” Mathews said. “My mind’s going 100 miles an hour with all the different plays and the pace. I’m just trying to stay mentally focused."
“He retained the stuff (from rookie orientation) extremely well. He’s very, very natural in what he does. He’s got great vision. I’m excited just to get going and our offensive line is excited. We’re going to be a better running team and I think that will help our entire team," says head coach Norv Turner. |
