INDIANAPOLIS – The Colts and Saints might be in different conferences, but there are some major familiarities between the teams as they meet this weekend in Indianapolis.
Quarterback Drew Brees is obviously one of the greatest players in Purdue University history, leading the Boilermakers to their second ever Rose Bowl appearance.
Ironically enough, Brees’ first ever attended NFL game was in 2000 when he was at the Colts/Titans Divisional Round contest at the RCA Dome.
Saints Head Coach Sean Payton’s first major coaching stint came at Indiana State (1990-1991).
Here are Brees and Payton talking about their Indiana ties and their impressions of the Colts:
