Deatrich Wise Jr. worked his way into some history Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
It transpired 35 yards from the end zone, on third-and-7 with 11:56 to play in the third quarter, as the Arkansas product loomed wide across from Andrus Peat.
The shotgun snap was handled and around the arc Wise traveled, strong-arming Peat until the 6-foot-7, 316-pound interim left tackle’s back was facing the line of scrimmage.
Wise was facing the back of Drew Brees by then.
Brees may not have seen him amongst the five-man rush. But he soon felt him.
