"A Honey Badger is primarily a carnivorous species and has few natural predators because of its thick skin and ferocious defensive abilities." Wikipedia finally got something right!

[@yahmomma5346]

Hoping for the best, he is literally one of my many motivators. Just had acl surgery 4 days ago, and just to see him get back on the field will be the best feeling.

[@Jdawgg.0]

100% of people say he should be rankid higher

[@maxdavila4206]

L, and L for spelling

[@majinbuu1135]

As a hawks fan i think he should, but it was probably cuz of his injury.

[@jaimesandoval1988]

+Madden Mobile Gods Too many good players one leaves out of the top 20. He is great though.

[@FinancialEducation]

Best safety in the league!! If only he could stay healthy 😰

[@TDiggz]

Harrison Smith is way better

[@D.ocument.The.Journey]

During this time Earl Thomas was the best mane

[@goofyahhhh406]

***** Not a chance i repect Kam and ETIII but i got to stick with Pat Pete

[@johnrodriguez4904]

I'm a Seahawks fan, but I can't deny that he's the best DB in the league. Truly remarkable to watch.

[@jroc2k]

I heard J.J. Watt recruited him!!

[@JayaIndonesia.1945]

You already win a ring. Hope you continue to have so fun 🙏

[@okleon]

I hope he stays healthy all year this year!

[@daltoncorley8213]

he's humble and love the game of football. deserves all the praise he get

[@LeWelker83]

I respect the hell out of Tyrann. Nothing short of a great comeback story and has proven everyone wrong multiple times. Definitely one of my favorite players in the league, should be higher.

[@anthonybaggott9825]

Dream Defense: -Kuechly -Watt -Honeybadger -Bam Bam Kam -Miller -Bowman -Donald -Mack -Sherman -Pat Pete

[@jonsimoes123]

he is always the one commenting on other top 100s, glad to see him being one of them.

[@matthewmiller7207]

Shame he got hurt toward the end of the season (in a garbage time play no less). That NFC Championship Game might have been a bit tighter.

[@maxwellhammond1078]

Lol it wouldn't have prevented the 7 turnovers. Maybe 42-15 instead?

[@matthewmiller7207]

Maxwell Hammond Of course I'm not saying they would've beat the Panthers, no.

[@carstencasady6477]

HONEY BADGER CAN PLAY SAFETY AND CORNER HES THE GOAT DONT TELL ME TO SHUTUP CUZ HE IS THE GOAT

[@concraft9040]

Shut up.

[@DJTLakeShowLife]

I recommend Pat Pete over him but Tyrann is one of the best in the league no doubt

[@carstencasady6477]

[@aaronshoaf4644]

He is great at what he does and like to see him when a ring

[@tylerprovoe9983]

You can't help but like this guy. Actually their entire D. Loving how stacked defenses are in the NFC West.

[@abdulg4360]

yet Carolina streamroll the nfc west best

[@tylerprovoe9983]

Micheal Thompson Well thank you for pointing out the obvious. They went 17 and 2. They steamrolled over everybody.

[@abdulg4360]

the playoff win over cardinals was not even close...their defense is a little overrated

[@tylerprovoe9983]

Micheal Thompson Well that is your opinion and I never asked for it so I am not sure why you are giving it. Stats say otherwise , but alright man Nonetheless, it will be an exciting year in the NFC West and thankfully nobody has to play the Panthers in the regular season.

[@abdulg4360]

lol is all good

[@russiantarzan7555]

Should be around 15

[@yanaman123]

W

[@jhowldarealest8657]

L

[@joshua22333444455555]

He should be way higher if he wouldn't have gotten injured probably top 15

[@nyc_guy7658]

Tyrann>Kam>Earl Thomas... Yeah I went there

[@yanaman123]

W

[@dannyfonseca07]

L

[@blapkin8519]

Seattle fan and you can't compare kam and tyran because there 2 different safeties, one is coverage and the other is run support but tyran over earl this year I will give you

[@yanaman123]

Joe what hes saying is that Kam is better than Earl but I am better than Kam

[@nyc_guy7658]

+Tyrann Mathieu - Honey Badger - No Fly Zone nah He is right, I should've put Earl in Front of Kam Because I like Earl better than Kam. But they do have different roles. Kam is more of a run support box type safety. Earl and yourself cover more than they play up at the line of scrimmage

[@dereed5222]

The NFC West is on fire right now! As a Seahawks fan, I'm looking forward to the games against the Cards and Rams!

[@GatorSwag420]

As a gator fan I hated him in college and still kind of do but I can't deny his skill dude is a beast

[@buckyzona]

Wow, he inspires me!!

[@AirzyBruh]

THE GOAT

[@jaydee3134]

I'm a Seahawks 12....we see this kid twice a year...Tyrann is the real deal and deserves a higher ranking

[@LilAlex4hunnid]

the video I been waiting for!

[@dynamitezverde9748]

Honestly this is the friendliest top 100 players video I've seen so far in the comments

[@solomonkessington8136]

This boy Tyrann plays with grit and grind that the game needs more. 2nd best safety in the NFL after Malcolm Jenkins.

[@shae1199]

You lost me when you said Malcolm Jenkins was better

[@solomonkessington8136]

+Shae Christensen he is. Numbers don't lie. People underrate Malcolm so much and I'm a Steelers fan.

[@Bmmn-tm2nb]

0:47 when you find out who has been commenting on yo girls pics saying you're beautiful!

Yes. Tyrann > Kam > Bethea

[@jeremywade8104]

Tyrann Mathieu - Honey Badger - No Fly Zone Do you think your better than Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas or do you think your better. Please tell me I want to know?

[@DJTLakeShowLife]

+Finnamon last year, Tyrann said ETIII was someone he looked up to

[@yanaman123]

Finnamon IM OBIOUSLY better than them im better than them both COMBINED

[@calculat3d998]

Highest payed safety in the league and PFF had him the number 1 CB last season, too bc he played enough stars to qualify, actually by a very wide margin.

[@jacobglassman9288]

Amazing player

[@The__Nation]

@NFL bring back this sound in the future

[@silverspadelord]

he is a hybrid between corner and safety.He did play corner at Lsu

[@matthewkirk1030]

That's my boi! Since lsu days always knew tyrann was very special. Always b #1 in my book

[@littlenikki2003]

He was right behind JJ Watt for the DPOTY lol top 15 for sure! Next season he will be legendary!

[@antoniorivera9310]

One of the most under rated Safeties in the NFL right now

[@victoracosta8989]

I LOVE TYRANN

[@influ504]

Tyrann be holdin the city down "ya'unh stan mehh" keep gettin it la'brudda 👌😎

[@KidCrombie]

Only a matter of time, my favorite player in the league. Let's get it!!

[@legionmaster4397]

tyrann should be in the top 15

[@goodolarchie]

Mathieu is a beast but i'll keep ETIII every day of the week. Comes up clutch so many times.

[@aureliabramwell5883]

He should be higher. He is underrated in this list, he is arguably the best safety/cornerback in the NFL. I would rank him somewhere within 15-22.

[@matthewkirk1030]

Just wait until he reaches his full potential. I don't even know what 2 expect. Don't know if he could do the magic he did at lsu but maybe close 2 it

[@shubisharanraghavan2296]

As a hawks fan, WAY HIGHER

[@goofyahhhh406]

As a Cardinals fan, Earl Thomas should've also been way higher.

[@bullsfan7293]

SHOWS YOU HOW BADASS HE IS, HIS LAST PLAY HE TORE HIS ACL AND STILL CAUGHT THE INTERCEPTION!

[@seanim6846]

This guy seems like a "genuinely real" type of dude.

[@katherinedalton4914]

Deserves to be so much higher

[@thecrazysportsfan9999]

You know what....Lemme settle this 1.Jones 2.Honey Badger 3.Kam 4.Harrison Smith 5.ET3

[@tanmarinofan]

switch kam with smith👌

[@danielmontijo5389]

yeees I'm a cardinals fan but I totally agree reshad BALLED OUT this year

[@BigWaveGoldenAle]

Malcolm Jenkins at 3

[@realifeHD]

as safeties last season? 1. smith 2. jenkins 3. earl 4. berry 5. Chung

[@realifeHD]

fuck9BF FUCK9BF​ someome on they period lol L

[@connorhein5532]

Top 5 favorite players in NFL (excluding Broncos) 1. Lesean McCoy 2. Tyrann Mathieu 3. Darren McFadden 4. Tavon Austin 5.Patrick Peterson

[@TheKeenanmeboy]

clearly you don't watch football

[@jetupmm6848]

+Excuse Keenan dude he said his top 5 favorite, not top 5 ranked players

[@TheKeenanmeboy]

JetUp MM oh I didn't see that. My fault

[@ElswickJenelswick]

about damn time

[@ibzz107]

30 second ad with no skip button?

[@bigredupsideyohead8485]

Him and earl best safeties in the league hands down..Harrison is nice to tho!!!

[@amitkolli6744]

He should be top 15 no doubt

[@Lavish23]

I hope he recovered from his injury. I really want to see him play this year after not knowing who his is last season

[@sitizenkanemusic]

I hope the Raiders' 1st round pick, Karl Joseph, can play like the Badger. Mathieu is my absolute favorite defensive player to watch after Mack and Donald.

[@MajorMarlfox]

He has the highest "Higher" percentage on this video than any other player. 🔥🔥🔥

[@godkongsnake4092]

Wish we got to face him.

[@beenagoon6156]

He reminds me of Charles Woodson in that Don Capers defense

[@bigty390]

Chill

[@jaiquearnett1219]

yep

[@user-mb1np8wo2v]

he is a great player

[@JavierRodriguez17565]

Can't wait for week 1 #gocardinals

[@menelikwatson4808]

The best player in the NFL is Von Miller, He is a certified game changer. 2ND is Darellle Revis.

[@nickvecchiolla]

He is like steve smith in my opinion, they are both short but they damn sure ain't small!

[@zanebrown1728]

the colts punter is amazing xD

[@miniboaster]

TYranch because he be dipppin on the opposition

[@olaogung09]

P4P te best football player I've ever seen, dudes special.

[@ib5608]

My guess for the 20 players left (not in order) : 1) Julio Jones 2) Antonio Brown 3) Deandre Hopkins 4) Odell Beckham Jr 5) AJ Green 6) Cam Newton 7) Aaron Rodgers 8) Tom Brady 9) Carson Palmer 10) Peyton Manning 11) Rob Gronk 12) Adrian Peterson 13) Luke Keckly 14) Von Miller 15) Josh Norman 16) Richard Sherman 17) Patrick Peterson 18) JJ Watt 19) Khalil Mack 20) Kurt Coleman

[@degeneration2xtreme]

Replace Kurt Coleman and Peyton Manning with JJ Watt and Aaron Donald, and there are the remaining twenty.

[@axelhas100]

Russell Wilson... and haven't Palmer already been on the list?

[@johnmiller3957]

Only time on the top 100 list?! That’s crazy

[@deforestbucknerdefo6931]

if there were a popularity vote for the nfl, I think tyrann would be the most liked player

[@fishingnuke9331]

Only reason I watch cardinals games

[@YourFavouriteAunty]

Idk who's gonna be able to match up against the cardinals defense, it's gonna be the best by far

[@carstencasady6477]

Honestly Cards have a better defense than offense

[@DJTLakeShowLife]

+BronzeGamer Bro They have both Offense: Palmer, Fitz, Brown, Floyd, Gresham, Iupati, Veldheer Defense: Calais, Honey Badger, Pat Pete, Bucannon, Jefferson

[@randallliu6552]

Broncos? We lose trevathan and suddenly were not even in contention?

[@IdentiFyEndTimes]

PACKERS

[@carstencasady6477]

+DJT Eh, Gresham ain't that good, honestly I was surprised with that 49-15 score

[@matthewchow4991]

Who's better Rodney Harrison in his prime or the Honey Badger right now?

[@carsonhays3160]

This is a perfect spot for him. Harrison Smith should be way higher tho

[@aWinkler2010]

Welcome to Houston!

[@souljaleks]

Welcome to Houston!!

[@emanuelcroom2171]

The Best Safety in the League🏆🏆💰💰💰

[@sMonspeet]

if people are saying tryann can be top 15 after 1 good season, then any player who has 1 good season should be top 15. plus they probably won't get injured by touching the field

[@arturosilva8853]

Awesome

[@ILoveuQ]

He little and he makes big plays

[@gregholmes-brown5628]

He tore his ACL twice. I've been following him since college, but I know if it happened again... It's over

[@bullfrog9326]

Best DB in the league. Wait until that Acl heals up

[@yanaman123]

Fun Fact Every Starting Cornerback on the cardinals made the pro bowl Pat Pete Me And Bethel

[@ryanhelms9322]

Best corner in the league statistically (panther fan here lol). But he played slot corner so yeh

[@lightninggh0stninja421]

Favorite team favorite player arizona cardinals tyrann mathieu honey badger

[@dpr953]

Love the honey badger

[@tyriwilliams123]

The Cardinals have the 2 best athletes in the league on their team and they are on Defense

[@Bryan-ob1ky]

yes

[@gannrr]

Coming from a chiefs fan, this guy is the best safety by far in the league. I hate it, hes off contract next year and Berry thinks hes worth the same. Not even close.

[@Dancingfreakinggood]

Should be top 10, Beast.

[@jeremywade8104]

Oh shut up. I'm a cheifs fan but door shut up Kam chancellor and Earl Thomas lll are the best even Tyranny knows that

[@TheGamingCrackheadOfficial]

+Finnamon HOLD THE L

[@Dancingfreakinggood]

I'll Admit, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor are elite safeties, but Tyrann worked hard to be where he is right now and deserves to be higher.

[@yanaman123]

L for you Finnamon

[@TrillqBBS]

+Finnamon Kam is not earl probably.Kam is not great in coverage, he's a hitter pretty much and makes plays in the box like a backer

[@cardsfan2161]

top 10 imo

[@mcluvin28x]

3:17 If Tyrann didn't scream, Riley Cooper definitely heard something pop
