Tyrann Mathieu hosting kickball game, football camp to 'bring New Orleans together'

TEMPE, Ariz. -- For the last five years, Tyrann Mathieu watched his former Arizona Cardinals teammates and coach host golf events to raise money for their respective charities.

But Mathieu doesn't golf.

So when Mathieu wanted to hold an fundraiser for his foundation, he wanted to be different. Thus was born the "Tyrann Mathieu and Friends Kickball Classic," which will be held Saturday in New Orleans at Shrine on Airline, the stadium that's home to the New Orleans Baby Cakes, the Miami Marlins' Triple-A affiliate.

"I just wanted to do something different," Mathieu told ESPN.
