Arizona Cardinal's safety and former LSU star Tyrann Mathieu hosted a youth football camp Sunday at the New Orleans Saints facility.

Mathieu ran routes and drills with the roughly hundreds of area youth in attendance. He said having the camp was important to him as it is a way to get kids on the right path.

"When I was growing up I played a lot of different sports," he said. "Year round I was always busy. I went from football to basketball to baseball.

"...I think it's important for these kids to get in the right direction and just to play sports even if they don't want to play professionally in the future I think it's important for them to be constructive.
