Tyrann Mathieu turns rant on New Orleans' violence into action with youth camp

NEW ORLEANS -- Tyrann Mathieu was back in his hometown of New Orleans on Saturday, hosting his first-ever youth football camp less than two months after he told the New York Daily News, “I don’t think I can go back to New Orleans. I don’t think that’s possible.”

At the time, Mathieu said he received death threats after he called the man who shot former New Orleans Saints defensive end Will Smith a “coward,” and spoke passionately about the culture of violence in his hometown in a Twitter rant and with multiple media outlets.
