Former Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu, who retired earlier this summer, was recognized Thursday by the city of New Orleans for his contributions as a New Orleans native.

The New Orleans native who first starred at St. Augustine High, transformed into the iconic "Honey Badger" at LSU and produced a 12-year NFL career that ended with a three-year stint with the hometown Saints, was presented the key to the city by Mayor LaToya Cantrell on Thursday, and the New Orleans City Council proclaimed it Tyrann Mathieu Day.
