Drew Brees “Passes Torch” To Zion Williamson With Gift Jersey

“Passing the torch to you,” read a Drew Brees signed jersey that found its way to a certain first–overall NBA pick who you just may have heard of once or twice upon his arrival in New Orleans this week. That pick, Zion Williamson, appears ready to inherit the keys and take the car out for spin, at least as far as the former Super Bowl MVP can judge.

As Brees enters his career’s closing years,  Zion just days ago joined the NBA as perhaps the league’s most exciting prospect since LeBron James. With this respectful gesture, Brees now seems to have picked the perfect candidate to wield the torch once he calls it a career.
