In 2011, Tyrann Mathieu made headlines on the football field.

The LSU Tiger defensive back registered 76 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and intercepted two passes. But he also showed a nose for the end zone -- scoring four touchdowns on punt returns and fumble returns for the BCS runner up. He won the Bednarik Award as the nation's best defensive player and was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy.

In 2012, Mathieu made headlines off the football field. LSU head coach Les Miles suspended the junior-to-be for a violation of team rules. Rumors floated that Mathieu would transfer to another school to continue his collegiate football career, but he did not. Mathieu was arrested for possession of marijuana last October.

Mathieu opted to make himself eligible for the NFL Draft, and is in Arizona training for the event with a former college teammate -- two-time Cardinals Pro Bowler Patrick Peterson.

Yahoo! Sports chronicled the work Peterson is doing with Mathieu for a video called "Outside the Game."

    Depending
    He has really turned his attitude around and if he is available, 3rd 4th round, then I would not be mad if we drafted him.

    Absolutely
    A great pick for 3rd or 4th round. That's PP talent, and PP would be good at getting him back on track as a football player and as a good citizen.

    Wouldn't have problem with TM lining up opposite PP21 next year. We are going to be dealing with Kap and Wilson for years. We need the best players we can get our hands on now.

    PP and TM in AZ
    Thus far I have been impressed with the coaching changes and I'm very excited with the potential of Keim and Arians in the draft. I would love to see the Cardinals pick TM up in the 4th round or so. Like the Upton brothers playing together in Atlanta I feel PP and TM together in AZ backfield would be exciting to watch. Please GM listen to your true fans cries and pull the string on TM in AZ, GO CARDINALS

    Hopefully this means
    the Cards have the inside track on drafting him. I would think the Cards will pick PP's brain on TM. After the Cards address the O-line and QB positions with their first 2 picks, go get Mathieu.

    Mentoring???
    PP7 get's an "F-" on his "mentoring abilities". The Honeybadger is dangerously close to being the next Lawrence Phillips or Ray Curruth.
