I copied the article for those who wanted to see it:

New Orleans package car driver Tyrone Mathieu is one proud papa

Louisiana State University cornerback and Heisman Trophy finalist Tyrann Mathieu is perhaps the most celebrated player on the nation’s number one college football team.

And, he’s also the son of Tyrone Mathieu — a Gulf South District package car driver.

“My advice for my son is to stay focused, stick with the process, and do what you always do naturally — go get that football,” said the 20-year UPSer pictured above.

Already named the Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year by the Associated Press, Tyrann is one of five finalists for the prestigious Heisman Trophy, which will be presented this Saturday evening in New York City.

"This is a dream come true, and I am humbled by this honor,” Tyrann said. "It shows that hard work and persistence pay off.”

The "Honey Badger" led the LSU Tigers in tackles (70), forced fumbles (six), and fumble recoveries (five), and added two interceptions to his 2011 resume.

In addition to his defensive domination, Tyrann also had two sensational punt returns for scores in LSU’s final two games against Arkansas and Georgia, which likely secured his invitation to the Heisman ceremony.

LSU faces the University of Alabama for the national title on January 9 at the Superdome in Tyrann’s hometown of New Orleans.
