Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu says the situation involving teammate Tyreek Hill is “very disappointing as the league weighs what to do with the troubled receiver.

Mathieu appeared on SB Nation Radio on Tuesday and became one of the first — if not the first — Chiefs players to comment publicly on Hill’s current predicament, fueled by a disturbing audio recording that leaked six days ago.

“I think it’s bad, man,” Mathieu told Alex Gold of SB Nation Radio per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. “Obviously, it’s very disappointing. Obviously, I came to the Chiefs with hopes that I could watch him play football and watch him run back punts and catch long bombs and outrun everybody. You know, it’s a very unfortunate situation. I haven’t been his teammate much, just basically two or three weeks. So it’s not really fair for me to comment on his character. I don’t think I really know him. But like I said just with everything that’s out right now and obviously the audio, it’s very disappointing, not only from a teammate standpoint but I’m a father as well. It’s very disappointing.”

The Chiefs suspended Hill from all activities last week, but have taken no further action since. The league has yet to take action of any kind with Hill, or even to acknowledge the significant developments of late last week.

Whatever happens with Hill, Mathieu’s remarks underscore a very important reality that will hit Hill, if/when he ever plays football again. He’ll eventually have to walk into a locker room inhabited by men who are also fathers, and they may look at Hill in a much different way now.
