Coach Bruce Arians and the have made their share of positive picks in the later rounds of the .Game-changing wideout was grabbed in the third, while running back was a sixth-rounder who blo somed into a starter. Third-rounder is another example of finding talent beyond Round 2, but Arians didn't need much time to name his "happiest Tommy Hunter Jersey " pick of all: ."He's as humble, as good a kid, probably as much swagger about him as anybody I've ever coached," Arians told Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times. "Probably the I've ever made. I get the most pleasure out of him, seeing him get his second chance and what he's done with it."Picked apart by draft experts as too small to play safety in the NFL and toting far too much off-the-field baggage, the 5-foot-9, 186-pound Mathieu sat and waited until Arizona used a third-round pick on him in 2013. That season, Arians and the employed Mathieu creatively from the start. "Honey Badger" played all over the field and emerged as a Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate before a torn ACL deep-sixed his first taste of NFL action.Mathieu returned to play in 13 games last season, but a weighty knee brace and a broken thumb left Arians to argue that Honey Badger and "playing not to lose."Today,Mathieurolls into September as our No. 5 candidate because (a) he's fully healthy again and (b) few players were more exciting to watch two seasons ago."He's that kid that never wrapped his mind around being smaller than everybody else," linebacker told Farmer. "He thinks he can do anything."As for Arians, he's never been one to wade into the murky pools of group-think, deciding on players for himself and -- along with general manager Steve Keim -- helping the to some of their most productive drafts in years."I rely on my instincts a lot," Arians said. "Just believing what you see on film and what you study."  Najee Harris Jersey
