BEST QUOTE OF TYRANN MATHIEU'S 2023 NFL SEASON:

"I never would have imagined my life being what it's been, having an opportunity to go to probably the best schools, you know, Louisiana has to offer in St. Augustine and then to have the opportunity to play for LSU. I just feel so connected to this city, this state and the people and it's been good. I've been fortunate to kind of have these same people kind of literally watch me grow up to the person I am today."
