Retired Drew Brees made the trip to L.A. to catch up with the team that drafted him, plus some friends — not just former teammates like Jared Cook and Chase Daniel, but his old Saints quarterbacks coach Joe Lombardi, too. However, the real draw would be second-year Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert.
“I’ve actually been really impressed with him,” Brees told Sports Illustrated’s Fernando Ramirez, emphasizing that Herbert has made a strong impression off of their limited contact together. “There’s no doubt that his physical tools are as good as anybody I’ve ever seen. By call accounts he’s a great worker, he’s got great leadership qualities, he’s got a lot of intangibles. So I think the sky is the limit for a guy like him.
