5. Tyrann Mathieu, Arizona Cardinals FS

Drafted in 2013, Tyrann “The Honey Badger” Mathieu comes in at No. 5, and is the one of the only defensive former Tiger to make the list.

In his three-season career with the Arizona Cardinals, Mathieu has been an active part of the team’s stout defense. As a Cardinal, the free safety has a total of two sacks and 180 tackles. Mathieu also boasts a total of eight interceptions, one of which resulted in a Arizona defensive touchdown. With this, we have no reason to believe that Mathieu will be anything short of dominant on the Cardinals’ defense this year.
