Drew Brees has finally hung up his cleats and rode off into the sunset.
“After 20 years as a player in the NFL and 15 years as a Saint, it is time I retire from the game of football,” he wrote. “Each day, I poured my heart & soul into being your Quarterback. Til the very end, I exhausted myself to give everything I had to the Saints organization, my team, and the great city of New Orleans.
“We shared some amazing moments together, many of which are emblazoned in our hearts and minds and will forever be a part of us. You have molded me, strengthened me, inspired me, and given me a lifetime of memories. My goal for the last 15 years was striving to give to you everything you had given to me and more.”
Brees retired from playing football on Sunday, but he also has plans to stay very close to the sport that he loves. The soon to be hall of famer will be working as an analyst for NBC.
That deal with NBC was actually agreed upon while he was still playing in the NFL.
