Saints Legend Drew Brees Returns to the Dome But This Time in a Completely New Role

New Orleans, LA
Drew Brees is set to return to the place that made him a legend: the Superdome. But this time, not to lead the New Orleans Saints on the field, but to call the game live on television.

This Sunday, when the Saints face off against their NFC South rival the Atlanta Falcons, legendary quarterback Drew Brees will officially return to his cathedral. But instead of wearing a jersey, he’ll be holding a microphone as a commentator for Fox Sports.

"He’s no longer the one throwing clutch passes, but Brees’ voice will echo throughout the stadium," one fan wrote on social media after hearing the news.

🎙️ From Hall of Fame QB to Broadcast Booth

After stepping away from the limelight following his retirement, Brees is gradually building a career in broadcasting. Last week, he made his debut by calling the Packers vs Giants game at MetLife Stadium.

Now, he’s coming back to the Superdome, the very place where he made history with a Super Bowl title, to cover the Saints vs Falcons game live on Fox 8.

"I’m glad I’m not a rookie anymore," Tom Brady joked when asked about Brees. "He knows what to do. Just enjoy yourself and... don’t read all those social media comments afterward."
