I’m glad I have very little left to say...It was an honor. It was a privilege. I didn’t take it for granted, and I’m thankful for every minute I got to spend with him. Above all, @drewbrees is an All-pro person... honestly, that’s all that matters. Congrats buddy.

There will be another quarterback for the New Orleans Saints next year. But there will never be another Drew Brees. https://t.co/bFoOep4VqZ

Sad day for the city New Orleans.
#9 will be missed ON and OFF the field.

As a college intern in San Diego, I covered Drew Brees getting drafted into the @NFL & then was at the Superdome when he set the league’s all-time touchdown passes record (at the time). In between he provided so many other thrilling moments, congrats on a great career #9! pic.twitter.com/e8zc1aIcxV

Drew overcame a potentially career-ending injury and accomplished all this. It’s emotional to look back at how he came roaring back. He was fully dedicated to the process with unparalleled work ethic.

I count myself lucky to have learned from him! https://t.co/zQxanhXR3p
