Tyrann Mathieu & his lifelong friend Tyrell McCall launch the debut episode of In The Bayou with an in-depth conversation about LSU's coaching search, and why Brian Kelly's replacement MUST embody Louisiana culture.
Tyrann opens up about the real story behind the 'Honey Badger' nickname, and how his dismissal from LSU changed the course of his life. He reflects on his decision to retire from the NFL after 12 seasons, walking away from $8 million to prioritize his future.
Because we're In The Bayou, Tyrann & Tyrell also touch on Tyler Shough's rookie campaign with the Saints, break down how the Pelicans should rebuild around young talent like Fears & Queen, and much more.
Long before 'Honey Badger,' the NFL & the Super Bowl ring, Tyrann & Tyrell were sharing post-practice meals as teammates at St. Augustine High School. NOLA defines them, and on this show they're inviting fans to join in on their celebration of everything the city represents.
