Brees for President

The Quarterback, he’s the man of the game, he is hailed for the victories and blamed for the defeats... he is the face and name of the team and during training camp he’s the one in red.

At the Saints’ training camp you’ll find three guys in red all campaigning for the third and final in command position. Jamie Martin is the back-up, and Drew Brees of course has been solidified as the starting quarterback for the Saints. I’ve personally voted him my favorite QB in 2007. After watching him run sprints in his pads while everyone else did it without, I knew this guy was solid. But he is also soft. He has a kind heart for others. I witnessed first hand his willingness to take a few minutes to spend some time with a young boy who is part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. He could run off the field with his helmet on, but instead he takes his time leaving the field signing autographs and talking to fans. His small actions make a big influence.

The fans aren’t the only one to benefit from Brees’ influence; his teammates are better because he works overtime with them to make the team better. After practice he runs routes with the rookies, and sets the standard of the hard work required.

A new quarterback, Matt Baker was just acquired today by the Saints. Baker graduated from North Carolina and spent last year with the Dallas Cowboys on the practice squad. No matter how much or how little he plays for the Saints, he will gain experience and wisdom from Mr. Drew Brees. Just like Tyler Palko and Jason Fife are... in the battle for the last spot at the position. It's 3 men for 1 job - and Drew is helping all of them along the way!

Brees for President!
