NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Tyrann Mathieu was honored at the New Orleans city council meeting Thursday, Aug. 21 with a key to the city.

Councilmembers honored Mathieu for his football career. After playing for LSU, Mathieu was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in 2013. Then, he played for the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs, eventually winning a Superbowl. Mathieu then chose to finish his career in New Orleans with the Saints.

"The opportunity to wear a black and gold was one of the greatest blessings of my life. To play for the team I grew up watching in the city that raised me, words cannot describe how special it was to play here and to serve as team captain," Mathieu said.
