Mathieu Comes Home to New Orleans

The safety as a member of the LSU Tigers

The third-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft will now return home to the city in which he was born and raised. He also played his collegiate career in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for LSU..

Last season for the Chiefs, he led the team with three interceptions, six passes defended and 76 tackles. As Twitter has shown, Mathieu was a real fan-favorite with the Chiefs and will be missed by both fans and the team alike. The popular safety will undoubtedly build a great rapport with the fans in New Orleans as the Saints look to improve on last season's performance.

Last year, the Saints finished second in the NFC South with a record of 9-8. With Jameis Winston returning from his long-term injury and Mathieu signing in free agency, New Orleans fans will be feeling optimistic.
