re: SIAP: Mathieu is having an incredible rookie season

I'm not ripping the honey badger I love him but geesh let's see him continue to make plays over the season before crowning him

Nobody is crowning him anything. The article was about a former LSU player known for his knack of making game changing plays, especially in his rookie season, a year after he sat out an entire season with no football.

Oh you mean like Reid's two INT's? I'm not ripping the honey badger I love him but geesh let's see him continue to make plays over the season before crowning him

Are you forgetting this guy played no organized football last year? None whatsoever. Plays two years in college then set home a year. Got drafted the next year and was the talk of the Cards camp. At 5'9 190 (soaking wet) he has already impacted his first two games.

Stopped a sure fire TD on a guy he wasn't guarding by not only stripping the ball, but causing it to go as a touchback to give his team the ball. Next game he makes a game ending fourth down "open space" tackle.

Reid has been doing great but for Mathieu to do what he does as a short lightweight safety with a year off from football, is unreal.
