Tyrann Mathieu is coming home.
The former LSU legend reportedly signed a three-year, $33 million deal with the New Orleans Saints. There’s still some language in the contract that needs to be ironed out before it’s officially official.
Mathieu was a star at LSU, and in 2011 he won the Chuck Bednarik Award and was a Heisman finalist. His 2011 season remains maybe the single greatest season a defensive player has ever had.
Mathieu’s been an even greater pro. In nine seasons he’s been an All-Pro three times, made three Pro Bowls, won a Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs and made the NFL’s 2010 All-Decade team.
