Interesting article from Les East of the Baton Rouge Advocate on Tyrann Mathieu's background and how attending and playing sports at St. Augustine helped him with the challenges he faced in the New Orleans neighborhood where he grew up:

When it comes to football, Mathieu is definitely a doer and not a watcher.
“I can’t watch football,” Mathieu said. “I’d rather go throw a ball in the yard or something. I have to be the one out there playing. I’ve never really been a spectator. It would have to be a really big-time game for me to watch it on TV.”
