Honey Badger Knows Alleged Killer of NFL Player, Calls Him a ‘Hating Ass Coward’

Arizona Cardinals defensive back Tyrann Mathieu, who grew up with the man accused of killing former New Orleans Saint Will Smith, calls alleged killer Cardell Hayes a “hating ass coward.”

Hayes allegedly killed Smith after a minor car accident on Saturday night. He also allegedly shot Smith’s wife in the leg after rear-ending the couple’s car. Like former LSU standout Mathieu, the towering Hayes starred in high school football in the Big Easy, albeit several years prior to Mathieu generating interest from colleges.

“It’s senseless,” Mathieu, who said he looked at Smith as a hero and cried when he died, told Fox Sports Radio. “I’ve lost several uncles, I’ve lost my best friend to gun violence in New Orleans. I felt it was my duty to speak up and to say something about it.”
