1️⃣ Super Bowl ring 💍 @elleduncanESPN asked Saints’ Tyrann Mathieu what else he wants to achieve in his career 👀 pic.twitter.com/Jat8t3ullp— NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) September 18, 2024
When you’ve achieved as much as New Orleans Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu, the question of “What else?” is common. What else are you playing for? What else do you want to achieve?
Mathieu told ESPN’s Elle Duncan that he is competing for the chance of bringing the Saints their second Super Bowl ring. Winning another championship is the response you expect, but it means more in Mathieu’s situation. He sees this as a “great opportunity to come back home and try to help my hometown win a Super Bowl.”
Mathieu reflected on seeing Drew Brees bring the Saints their first championship in 2009. You don’t have to tell Mathieu how big that moment was for the city. He lived it. He was 17 years old and still living in New Orleans at the moment. He wants to deliver that kind of moment to the city again, except this time he’ll be a part of the team.
Mathieu says this is the “only goal he has left outside of continuing to inspire his teammates.”
