Tyrann Mathieu had a brief but successful NFL career. Before reaching this level, it is a human flagship film at LSU.
Mathieu signed with the St. Augustine High School Tigers as the 15th corner in the country in the 247Sports Composite generated through the industry. Once in Baton Rouge, he temporarily earned a reputation as one of the top creators of electric games in school history in just two years.
Mathieu showed his ability to play with 57 tackles, 8.5 saves for defeats, 4.5 catches, seven broken passes, five forced loose balls, 3 getaway recoveries and two interceptions in thirteen games as nickelback.
The following season, the New Orleans venue exploded as an American first team unanimously, won the Bednarik Award as the country’s defensive player, and became the first LSU Heisman Trophy finalist invited to New York since Charles Alexander in 1977. He finished this season with six forced loose balls, two assists and broke nine more, and added 76 tackles, 7.5 for defeat, and 1.5 catches. A couple of the five escapes he recovered ended up in the finishing area, with two of the kicks he returned.
Known as Honey Badger in his time with the Tigers, Mathieu holds the record with 11 forced getaways, and recovered six with eight resulting in ball losses.

Kansas City hired him for three years and $42 million in 2019 with $26.8 million guaranteed. He responded with one of his seasons with 75 tackles, two catches, four interceptions and 12 assists.
The NFL ranked Mathieu the number 3 in league security before the 2020 crusade and number 39 on the nfl’s 100 most sensible list. He made 89 of 98 games, totaling 416 tackles (36 per loss), intercepting 17 passes (61 defended) and forcing 4 loose balls (two recoveries).
