INDIANAPOLIS – “To an amazing teammate and friend, enjoy retirement!!”
That was the message Dwight Freeney penned to Robert Mathis on a signed jersey.
Freeney delivered a Falcons jersey to his former teammate as a retirement present.
If Freeney is still playing in 2017, he will be trying to chase down Mathis on the NFL’s all-time sack list.
Mathis (122.5 career sacks) currently sits in 17th place. Freeney is just a .5 sack behind his former teammate, in 18th position.
Earlier this week, Freeney caught up MMQB’s Kayln Kahler where the former Colts great shared his thoughts on Mathis heading into retirement.
