The Colts hired Mathis last month to be the team’s pass rush consultant.

Mathis spent his entire 14-year career playing with the Colts. He’s the franchise leader in sacks with 123 and has an NFL-record 40 career strip sacks.

His best season was in 2013, where he racked up 19.5 sacks.

Mathis was also suspended for the first four games in 2014 for using performance-enhancing drugs.
