After tearing his ACL in 2015, Arizona Cardinals S Tyrann Mathieu wasn’t at full strength last season. He also dealt with a shoulder injury that ended his season in December.
However, heading into the 2017 campaign, the former LSU star is back and better than ever.
On Saturday night, he showed flashes of his former brilliance, picking off a pass from Chicago Bears QB Mike Glennon in the red zone and returning it 52 yards to set the Cardinals up in great field position:

If Mathieu is back at full strength, the Arizona defense can be one of the NFL’s best this fall. Based on plays like the one above, it looks like the Honey Badger is ready for a big season.
