Tyrann Mathieu is trying to shake his “Honey Badger” moniker.

He knows it won’t ever leave him entirely. It’s been around since his LSU days. But the Chiefs safety said he needed a new identity and has warmed up to another nickname that he created.

Mathieu started calling himself “The Landlord” this year after general manager Brett Veach signed him to be a leader of the defense. Mathieu took it and ran with it, and he now considers himself “The Landlord” of “Chiefs Kingdom.”
