Tyrann Mathieu can become the cornerstone of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive rebuild in 2019.
With Mathieu’s relationship to Bucs head coach Bruce Arians and the team’s need for an elite defensive back, it is a match made in heaven.
Mathieu plummeted down NFL Draft boards before the 2013 Draft after former head coach of the LSU Tigers Les Miles kicked Mathieu off of the team.
Questions about his character and ability to handle himself at the NFL level surrounded the talented prospect. The one coach that was willing to take a chance on Mathieu was Bruce Arians, who was the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals at the time.
