Drew put his broadcasting career on hold so he could be with his family.
It's a possibility for the 13-time Pro Bowl quarterback who worked in a variety of roles for NBC last season to return to the booth.
If I choose to do it again, I feel like I walked away with a pretty good skill set. The world where fans consume the game is changing as well. You can see a lot of alternative broadcasts. It's kind of interesting to listen to the game and learn about it.
There is a chance of doing something like the ManningCast.
He said that he watches a game completely differently than most people. It's difficult to watch it as a fan. You are so analytical. At all times, you are in the moment. That is an interesting perspective for fans to hear. I want to find a way to communicate that in a more in-depth way that is outside the norm.
After a stellar career in which he was a Super Bowl Most Valuable Player, he left the field to work in the booth. He's second on the career list in both yards passing and touchdown passes.
He was an analyst for Notre Dame games with Mike Tirico and was in the studio most Sundays. The Thanksgiving game was called by the man.
"I got exposed to a lot in a short amount of time and I learned a lot." The group at NBC is first class and the best in the business and being able to work with guys like Mike Tirico and Tony Dungy and Maria Taylor was just awesome. I appreciated the time that I had. It took up every weekend in the fall for me, so I didn't do that this year.
There are four children between the ages of 8 and 13 in the house.
He said that he was coaching all the kids and they had games on the weekends. I don't want to miss any of that.
After the Saints' playoff loss to Brady and the Buccaneers in January 2021, Brees decided to retire. He had surgery for a torn labrum in January 2006 after tearing the cartilage in his throwing shoulder. The injury would wear him down.
"It became a struggle to be healthy enough to go out there and perform at the highest level just with the limitations that I had." I could take you out all day long. It became more and more difficult to do things down field.
The man is not surprised that Brady is still playing. He remembers talking about it with the seven-time Super Bowl champion when they were training together.
I would play until I was 45 if my arm wasn't put together. It takes a lot of commitment and sacrifice for Tom to do it.
While he is away from football, he is still focused on philanthropy. He is one of seven current and former players who are working with 8,000 fans and Lowe's associates to tackle critical repair projects in NFL markets and communities in need.
The new sustainable work-live headquarters will provide well-equipped, modern housing for visiting volunteers in the Lower Ninth Ward.
It was a great project. Lowe's commitment to these communities is appreciated by me.
