And don't claim him as a safety, you said while at LSU...


He wasn't really a true corner at LSU either, at least in 2011. I know when we played West Virginia, they gameplanned him as an outside linebacker (per a Bruce Feldman article around that time).

Mathieu had the best defensive season I've ever seen a player have. But he wasn't a corner the same way the other guys listed were.

He was a hybrid "nickel" - roughly 1/2 corner, 1/4 safety, 1/4 linebacker.

And he was 100% disruptive.

Yes he was. We often lined up in base - two corners, two safeties. When we did he was a corner. When we went to nickle, he was the nickle corner.
