Mathis is the franchise’s all-time sacks leader with 122, and he is tied with Simeon Rice for 18th on the NFL’s all-time sacks list. He was the AFC Defensive Player of the Year in 2013 after leading the league in sacks with 19.5, and he won a Super Bowl with the Colts in 2007.
Mathis is the perfect example of a good player slipping through the cracks in the draft. He was taken in the fifth round in 2003.
