The 3-time First Team All Pro and 3-time Pro Bowler, who currently has 610 tackles for 26 career interceptions and 10 sacks in his 9 NFL seasons will instantly make an impact joining the Saints. Mathieu who grew up in New Orleans, played for LSU and won a Super Bowl in 2019 with the Kansas City Chiefs, will now return home hoping to do the same with the Saints.
