Saints' Drew Brees sends a letter to the former players

[@The_GenXennial]

A true role model of an athlete. He has changed football culture on the entire Gulf Coast. Thank you Bree’s for giving us something positive following the one of the worst events of some of our lifetimes!

Drew Brees is a Class Act.......and the "GOAT". Good Karma all from New Orleans, Louisiana!

Kind of a side note. I had him in fantasy his first year when he was classified as a TE. Got me a championship.

[@ProvenHueMan]

Tubal Cain he sure labeled a TE, I remember that. I went back to look at his stats n realized this dude pretty much averaged 2 touchdowns a game in his 700 plus career games. That’s ridiculous.

To me, DREW BREES is the best to ever do it. For being 5"11 and playing like 6"5. That's why I consider DREW BREES the best. Truly, the GOAT. Hands down.

[@shoonger001]

He's 6ft...

[@jackc7165]

[@thedreadedbaker8493]

@@enjoyesk8978 Things like height and weight are typically slightly embellished in the NFL. This is a pretty well known fact.

[@corintibbetts-harlow8021]

It's pretty common knowledge that Brees is more like 5'11, find a pic of someone who is actually 6ft standing next to him and it will be clear :p Apparently during the combine before he was drafted they measured him at 5'11 and he refused to leave until they bumped him up to 6ft, as he knew how important it was (especially back then) psychologically to not been seen as a 'short' QB

[@godson30032]

Colston, Henderson, Moore, Thomas (Pierre and Mike), and Bush are some of my favorite saints players that have caught passes from Brees.

[@cajunkuto]

You can tell LT has alot of respect for Drew even when talking about him on them talking heads show.

[@KraftyLu]

He and Michael Thomas and others are so humble and they are correct, without the help of each player, they would not be where they are today. It is a team record. You can't set records without the help of others to do their jobs. Way to Geaux Drew for recognition of the greats, I took a trip down memory lane with some players I truly miss today. You're a fine class act!!! Whodat4life living in the ATL area

[@zparkyy1800]

Michael Thomas is just soooooooo humble lol.

[@totalrobot]

Ravens fan here. Everybody is talking about our quarterback these days, but I've always respected Drew Brees. His professionalism and dedication is only paralleled by a select few in the NFL. And that longevity came from hard work in the off-season, and healthy lifestyle habits. It also helps that he's a GREAT DUDE. What an NFL treasure!

I am a Carolina fan and can't thumbs down this. I JUST told a buddy, we can hate NO all we want but Brees is a class act, period.

[@TheDCGuitar13]

Brady won rings with good teams and definitely carried most of the load at times but Drew brees was an entire franchise for 13 years. I mean, like Marino. If drew had a losing team, it was a team bad enough to go winless. He carried a city for so long with no talent around him. The three balanced teams they gave him all got to the conference championship and even a Super Bowl. You put brees in New England and they might’ve gotten 7-8 in the same span. I’m not a saints fan but it’s been an honor to watch both guys. I feel like they’re both GOATs in their own way. I don’t identify a GOAT. I put 5 guys in a shortlist and admit that they all have a case. Those two are on that list. Drew is that guy when we were growing up that when he’s on your team, makes you cocky enough to talk shit because you know drew will back it up

[@robertridley9279]

Where would Brady be without Ernie Adams, Alex Guerrero, John Jastremski, Matt Walsh, and the guy the Bengals caught videotaping in Cleveland?

[@robertridley9279]

@Vincent Cuttolo no I just tell the truth. Because of all the cheating, Brady is compared to Drew Brees. If he hadn't benefited from cheating, his career would be more like a different Drew.... not Bledsoe, Henson, the guy he couldn't beat out at Michigan, who ended up a bust in two different sports.

[@josheternal]

@@robertridley9279 Brady isn't a cheater. Thats all media hype. But you're right about the fact that he dont compare to Brees. Only qbs that even get close to Brees are Manning, Marino and Rodgers. Probably Russell Wilson too if he keeps it up. Brady is more on par with Eli

[@robertridley9279]

@@josheternal it's documented fact that Brady cheated, but at least you agree he's not on par with brees.

[@isaacbelluomini1925]

I wish I knew why some sports commentators and still touting the accomplishments of Tom Brady instead of Drew Brees. Even during the LSU-OU game yesterday, one of the commentators compared Burrow to Tom Brady. Burrow is practically a clone of Drew, but for some reason, they compared him to Brady (who, in MHO, could use a slice of humble pie, unlike THE most humble QB to ever play the game). For years, I've said that there will never be another Drew Brees, but LSU definitely has found one! God bless Drew and the Saints
