NFL Legend Drew Brees Reveals His Son's Preferred College Destination
10/17/2024 04:49 PM
Tonight, Drew Brees will be inducted into the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame during halftime of the team's game against the Denver Broncos.
Brees played 15 of his 20 NFL seasons for the Saints, setting a laundry list of records and winning a Super Bowl during his legendary run. The 13-time Pro Bowler alum still holds NFL records for most consecutive games with a touchdown pass (54), highest single-season completion percentage (74.4) and most career 5,000-yard passing seasons (5). After tonight, the next stop for Brees will be Canton once he is eligible in 2026.
Brees is not only beloved in New Orleans, but throughout the entire state of Louisiana. Perhaps that's why his oldest son Baylen, who turns 16 in January, wants to attend college in Baton Rouge.
"Drew Brees said it's hard to believe that the kid he held up at the Super Bowl (Baylen) is now a sophomore in high school who wants to go to LSU," ESPN's Katherine Terrell tweeted Thursday.
After starting 2-0, the Saints have lost four straight games and have been beset by injuries.
As a result, the fanbase is shaken coming into tonight, but Brees' induction and the return of former coach Sean Payton to New Orleans should have the Superdome crowd rocking.
Brees released a message to Saints fans this week, letting them know he intends to lead them in his traditional pregame huddle chant at halftime tonight.
The Saints and Broncos will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime Video.
