Cardinals’ Tyrann Mathieu among NFL’s best in social media reach

We all know Arizona Cardinals defensive back Tyrann Mathieu to be a player and a personality that is anything but understated or reclusive, as his exciting style of play and interaction and engagement with fans and media members on social media make him one of the league’s top attention getters.

However, quantifying Mathieu’s reputation and the impact of his personality has been difficult to gauge — until now.

According to MVPIndex, a website that tracks, collects and stores data on social media trends involving athletes, the former LSU product ranks among the top three in the NFL in terms of social media reach.
