Arizona Cardinals defensive back Tyrann Mathieu was one of the many NFL players vocal about ex-NFLer Will Smith’s murder this weekend. Many took to Twitter to express their sorrows and condolences, but Mathieu’s was a little bit different.
Mathieu sent out a slew of tweets after he heard that Cardell Hayes was the murderer, saying that he knew him. Mathieu went on to express him own feelings, calling him a coward:
Some of those tweets have since been deleted.
Mathieu appeared on the Rich Eisen show Monday, and noted in an interview that the family of Hayes has threatened his life as a result of his tweets.
