Mathieu spent the 2010 and 2011 seasons with LSU before he was dismissed from the program in August 2012 for violating team rules. But the 2011 Heisman Trophy finalist has recovered well since becoming a third-round pick by the Cardinals in 2013. He was named a first-team All-Pro selection after last season.
