Tyrann Mathieu understands the perils of flooding in Louisiana – when he was a boy, he picked up and moved to Texas for a time in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
With Baton Rouge devastated by recent flooding, Mathieu and fellow Louisiana State University product Patrick Peterson purchased needed clothing and school supplies for 700 children in the area, delivered Thursday with the help of the Boys & Girls Club.
“Me and Pat, we’re really fortunate being in the position that we are in, and obviously we have roots
there,” Mathieu said.
