Rashean Mathis will turn 35 years old in August. In NFL years, after 12 seasons, he’s an elder statesman.

"I think I've got a new outlook on it because, sometimes when you look at the ending, you can look forward to the ending a little too much and don't really appreciate what today brings," he said Monday at the Charlie Sanders Foundation golf outing at Knollwood Country Club in West Bloomfield.
