Robert Mathis is making an impact in the lives of all the players in the locker room. He is a true leader and the suit of armor is just a small gift for the things that he has done for the men in the locker room and for the franchise.

"“It was from what he’s done for me and Bjoern as players and men,” Daniel Adongo said. “It’s more than being a mentor. It goes beyond football and translates into our life outside of football.“He’s shown us a lot and we still learn a lot from him. You learn from the best guy in the league at our position. How lucky are we to do that?”"
