Drew Brees had 'one of the greatest stories' in the history of the NFL, legendary broadcaster says

Drew Brees may have played his final game for the New Orleans Saints.

If the Saints’ 30-20 loss to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Divisional Round of the NFC playoffs is the last time Brees straps on cleats, he would retire as the all-time leader in passing yards with 80,358 and second in all-time passing touchdowns with 571.

Brees, who signed a contract with NBC before the start of the 2020 NFL season, could soon join Al Michaels in the broadcasting booth and have a role as a color commentator covering the league he played in for 20 seasons.

Michaels made an appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show" on Monday morning, and summarized the career of one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.
"With Brees, you look at not only the numbers, but the quality of the individual," Michaels told Eisen. "It’s one of the great stories I’ve seen in the National Football League, ever."
