Alexander Mattison Is Excited About Ezra Cleveland

[Carl Knowles]

In a recent interview with the Vikings Entertainment network, Vikings running back Alexander Mattison talks about how excited he was when the Vikings drafted his former Boise State teammate and long time friend Ezra Cleveland. Mattison boasts “Ezra is extremely athletic, extreme smart, and extremely strong who comes together very well and he is a guy that will get after you. I told him I knew he would fit in our system by the way that he plays. I thought there was a good chance we would get him because of how much he fits and the type of player he is.”

It’s cool to know Ezra had the Vikings on his wish list heading into the draft.


Well if he is as good of a fit as Alexander Mattison has turned out to be, than I’m completely sold on the Vikings’ second round pick. I think he will be a day one starter.

Thanks for sharing.  I wondered at that connection when I saw Cleveland was from Boise State.

After that top 4 of OTs, Jones and Cleveland were at the top of that next tier.

Honestly, I don't think any of the remaining OTs were better superior than to Ezra Cleveland for what we want to do.

Ezra must be the real deal because we passed on Trent Williams and Josh Jones

You have to envision him espousing these pearls while wearing his khaki  cargo shorts---black socks and birkenstocks

This hate for cargo shorts will not stand! Has there ever been a more perfect garment than cargo shorts? C'mon! I like to pair them with a nice Bahama shirt that has another 8 pockets and UV protection of 30  and there's nothing the day can throw at me that I can't handle...got my multi-tool, portable phone charger, bunch of hard candy, zinc oxide, lip balm, keychain and flashlight combo, pepper spray, dog treats, wet naps, face mask, DNR order, life insurance policy, last will and testament...I don't know how you even get through the day...
