“I was a rock star. I was the president of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.” — Tyrann Mathieu Quote

“I was a rock star. I was the president of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.”

“Any time I'm healthy I feel like I'm the best defensive player in the NFL.”

“Not too many people have my story. And this is my story: A guy goes from unknown to a Heisman Trophy finalist. He gets kicked out of school. He absolutely rebounds himself. He becomes a millionaire. He's taking care of his family. And then he's getting injured.”

“Marriage is like twirling a baton, turning hand springs or eating with chopsticks. It looks easy until you try it.”

“When you run a part of the relay and pass on the baton, there is no sense of unfinished business in your mind. There is just the sense of having done your part to the best of your ability. That is it. The hope is to pass on the baton to somebody who will run faster and run a better marathon.”

“I was born and raised in Louisiana - a small town called Ferriday, north of Baton Rouge.”
