Really cool article, because it takes you inside the honeybadger's mind as he prepares to make a big play.

The Roman philosopher Seneca once said that luck is when preparation meets opportunity. If so, then consider Mathieu lucky. But also understand that the youngster is good. Very good.

Luck is but the residue of design.

not sure if it's online, but there was a great piece in ESPN the Mag in 2011 on his preparation. It was very impressive. He talked about watching what receivers do with the ball immediately after catching, which way they tend to turn, where they tuck the ball, etc.

I knew from my film study that he liked to give you his chest, but I didn’t try to jam him there the entire game. You have to save it for a special moment, because if you start pressing him at the beginning of the game and have success, he’s going to change up. But that was the perfect time because I hadn’t done it. I was in his face, but I hadn’t put my hands on him. But this was the perfect time. He wasn’t expecting it.
Oh my . . . he sounds like a ten-year veteran.
