Drew Brees was previously a Purdue interim assistant.
Drew Brees Louisiana sports fans know him as a household name. It’s hard to find many guys who are as beloved in a single state.
However, Brees will be opposite of LSU’s sideline on Monday as he helps coach Purdue in the bowl game.
Brees addressed his Citrus Bowl press conference. He was asked about any relationship that he had with LSU. Following surgery in Baton Rouge he was able to rehab his shoulder at LSU.
Brees was more complimentary of LSU than he was when he spoke about the significance of a win for Purdue.
From 1998-00, Brees played three years as a starter for Boilermakers. In each of his three seasons with the Big Ten, he was the leader in both passing yards (and touchdowns) and total yards. He led the NCAA with total yards twice, and finished fourth and third in Heisman voting for 2000 and 1999.
After starting his career with the Chargers, Brees moved to New Orleans in 2006. He was the chief of the Saints To a Super Bowl in 2009, and led the NFL’s passing yards on seven occasions.
Brees’ presence likely comes as a lot of help to a Purdue team that will be without a few of its coaches and some of its best players on Monday.
