NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Drew Brees walked into the TPC Louisiana Wednesday looking like a guy that enjoying his retirment.
Brees teamed up with his now former head coach Sean Payton for the Zurich Classic Pro-Am. They’ve played in this event multiple times over the years. But this will be the first one where Brees won’t be back as Saints starting quarterback.
" I know I’ll miss it,” Brees said. “Honestly it’s a big reason why I took the opportunity to sign with NBC, be a broadcaster for Notre Dame games for Mike Tirico and do the in-studio work for Football Night in America to stay connected with the game, to stay connected with the coaches and the players and all those relationships I’ve been able to build over the years. But also a way to fill that void that I know will come.”
