After just one season in Kansas City, it sounds silly to think Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu has a shot at making the team’s Ring of Honor. Obviously it will be an uphill climb since he came to Kansas City so late in his career, but does he have a realistic shot? The possibility is there.
For starters, Tyrann Mathieu was a major catalyst for the complete 180 of the Chiefs defense. Yes, former defensive coordinator Bob Sutton leaving—addition by subtraction—helps and his replacement, Steve Spagnuolo, did a great job, but you could easily point to one player both pre-snap, during the play, and even off the field that seemingly embodied the change.
