Rich Eisen asked Kelly on the show about how he is going to feel while he is in the Superdome before his first game? To which, Tyrann had a straight answer – “That’s going to be emotionally man. Obviously, you know this is a team and a program that really I watched you know my whole life growing up and you know I can either go back to.”
Tyrann definitely has an emotional connection with the team. While growing up in Louisiana, he has always supported the Saints while watching the matches on his television set. He is looking forward to this new chapter and hopes he will have a better chance of impacting the community.

Tyrann had some wise words for Brian, “BK is cooler than people give him credit for, man, he’s a cool dude. He’s definitely a bright mind, he’s smart. I’m not a great dancer neither, that’s why I never Griddy or nothing like that. Justin Jefferson and all those young boys, let them get their dance on.”
