Last season, Mathieu was ranked the second-best behind Vikings safety Harrison Smith at 93 overall. Mathieu proved with the Chiefs last year that no other safety in the league impacts the game the way he does. Now, he’s being recognized for that success by EA’s ratings adjustors ahead of the 2021 NFL season.
Mathieu also saw some support from one of the greatest to ever do it, with Hall of Fame CB Deion Sanders chiming in about his Madden rating.
I love you & your continued support is what really allows me to appreciate your greatness even more! Thanks My man! https://t.co/MkUytXDHmb
