On the field, there was perhaps not a more decorated defensive player in Kansas City over the past three seasons. Mathieu earned two All-Pro selections, two Pro Bowl selections, two AFC championship wins and a Super Bowl ring. He was twice selected as the Derrick Thomas MVP award winner by his coaches and peers. He started 47 games, recording 213 total tackles, eight tackles for loss, four sacks, four fumble recoveries, 13 interceptions, 27 passes defended and two defensive touchdowns.
There’s little doubt that this has been one of, if not the most impactful free agent signing in franchise history. Even with Mathieu and the Chiefs going their separate ways, the team and fanbase will forever be thankful for his contributions. He’ll always have a home in Kansas City.
