'I knew where I wanted to be', Tyrann Mathieu excited for New Orleans Saints homecoming

But after spending two years in the AFC West, Tyrann Mathieu was made a free agent this offseason, and the 29-year-old has since been snapped up by the New Orleans Saints.

"When I watch this defense, they pop off the screen. Just with energy and passion, and all the different handshakes that they do. It's fun and it's exciting," said Mathieu.

Despite Mathieu staying a free agent throughout the Draft process, he suggested that the Saints move was constantly in the works, and just took some time to iron out.

"It just feels good to see it all come together. I've kind of been manifesting this for a while."

Honey, he’s home
