In his first meeting with the team, Ryan Walters gave a scholarship to a walk-on. There is a time and a place for this.
Drew will serve as an assistant coach for the Boilermakers as they prepare for and play in the Cheez-ItCitrus Bowl.
The quarterback said he was excited to work with the team over the next few weeks. I see it as an opportunity to coach and mentor this group of young men, but also represent all the former Boilermakers that care about our program.
NCAA guidelines allow Brees to work with student-athletes and participate in recruiting activities.
One of the most decorated quarterbacks in program and Big Ten history left West Lafayette after the 2000 season and went on to play 20 years in the NFL. He was the conference leader in passing yards, touchdown, total offensive yards, completions and attempts.
The Big Ten named its quarterback of the year after Bob Griese. In his career, the quarterback has passed for 80,358 yards and scored 571 times.
The athletic director said that Drew Brees has shown the world what makes the Boilermakers special. Drew is an amazing leader, even though he was an elite football player. Gaining his insights on the football field and in our coaching offices will be of great value to our student-athletes.
The coach of the Boilermakers left for Louisville last week. The Big Ten West title was a highlight of his tenure.
The interim head coach for the bowl game will be Brian Brohm, who will also be calling plays for the defense, according to the new head coach.
Jeff is the older brother of Brian.
He will be looking at practices, hiring assistants, recruiting and preparing for next season.
I was hoping the rumors were true when I heard about Drew coming back to help the guys. The opportunity for our players to learn from one of the greatest leaders in football history is something that they will never forget. Drew taking time out of his busy schedule to coach the bowl game is a perfect example ofPurdue football being one big family, and I can't wait to see him on the sideline.
Quarterback Aidan O'Connell, wide receiver Charlie Jones, tight end Payne Durham, and defensive backCorey Trice will not be playing in the game.
