INDIANAPOLIS – “#IWannaPlay15!”
That hashtag from Robert Mathis was sent out on an Instagram of his family after the 2015 season finale.
Mathis had just completed year No. 13 in the NFL.
The man who virtually everyone said was “too small” is now nearing a decade and a half of elite football.
Defying the odds again in 2015, Mathis was once again chasing quarterbacks. He was doing it just a year after 10 surgeries on his torn Achilles.
“I feel blessed to just even be back on the field,” Mathis said near the end of this past season.
