Tyrann Mathieu was a key member of the Kansas City Chiefs side which made it into back to back Super Bowl appearances in 2019 and 2020. However his time with the Chiefs has come to an end and he’s a free agent at this point of time.
While he is on the lookout for his new franchise ahead of the 2022 season, it seems he has already set his sights on a particular place, which is the New Orleans Saints where he wants to play. The 29-year old safety sung high praises of the New Orleans Saints and of their new head coach Dennis Allen.
Tyrann Mathieu was born and raised in New Orleans and would love to play for them
“First and foremost, it’s a great opportunity with Dennis Allen stepping into the lead position,” Tyrann Mathieu said, via The Times-Picayune.
Tyrann Mathieu also said that whenever he sees the Saints in action, he believes that he has what it takes to gel well with the defensive team and play for them. It was a clear indication on the part of the player that he will definitely take up the option of playing for the Saints if they are willing to make a move for him.
His fandom for the New Orleans Saints roots back to his childhood days, as he was born and brought up in the city. The fact that his family and friends are still there at New Orleans also gives him an added motivation to play for the franchise.
“He’s a great defensive mind. I have a lot of respect for Ms. (Gayle) Benson and the kind of things she does throughout the community. It’s a team I grew up watching. Any time I get to play in front of family and friends, it obviously gives me more energy. It would be a great opportunity if that was to come.”
“I have a great relationship with Cam Jordan, Marshon Lattimore,” Tyrann Mathieu said. “The list goes on and on. Any time I see the Saints play defense, I always tap myself on the shoulder and say, ‘Hey, I could probably roll with those guys.’ Those guys have done a great thing. The last couple years, they’ve been like top five in defense. I don’t think they really need me, but it would be good to go back home and help them win.”
