Tyrann Mathieu looked as if he was on the right track to getting back on the football field, but a recent arrest on a marijuana possession charge has put that in doubt. Mathieu already is missing his entire junior year, and it was a bit of a long shot for him to play again for LSU even before the arrest. Now he'll have to overcome questions surrounding his commitment to the game and his level of discipline if he wants to play at any college, much less in the NFL.
A future in college?

An NFL team might take a chance on Mathieu, but his chances of playing big-time college football again seem dim.
- TigerFan426: "Pretty safe to say that regardless of what Mathieu's chances to rejoin the team next season used to be, he'll never play for LSU again. Sad to see someone with so much talent throw it all away"
- Water go down the hole: "Were NFL teams seriously looking at this kid? He is mediocre at best. The catchy nickname was not going to help him on the field."
- kuhba: "this guy will get a shot at the nfl hands down, its all about winning. Pacman jones is still in the league. He'll get a shot it's up to him what he does with it."
- gSalcondo: "He was shut down by Bama as a cornerback. He might have a position as a returner but not much more."
- Ethan7832: "I have no doubt that if he's good enough, Mathieu will play in the NFL. Coaches don't want you going and getting high when you're not with the team, but if you score TD's and make big plays like this kid does theres a spot on a roster for you somewhere"

When Chris Bosh said "Danny Green won't be open tonight" before the game, he meant "because I am going to leave Duncan wide open instead."
