Mathieu's career was highlighted by winning Super Bowl LIV with the Kansas City Chiefs, earning three First-team All-Pro selections, and being named to the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team. Known for his versatility, leadership, and ball-hawking abilities, he recorded 36 interceptions, 11.0 sacks, and 838 tackles throughout his career before retiring on July 22, 2025.
