Tyrann Mathieu launched a Twitter tirade on Sunday against the man, Cardell Hayes, that's been accused of killing New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Will Smith in a road-rage incident.
That reportedly didn't sit well with Hayes' relatives, who have since handed out death threats to Mathieu, per CBS:

I'm only here to speak the truth.'"
