Drew Brees wins first Saints quarterback challenge of 2019

The New Orleans Saints quarterback challenge has become an institution after daily training camp practices, with Drew Brees and the other passers on the roster competing in increasingly-intricate tests of skill.

This year, Brees is joined by Teddy Bridgewater, J.T. Barrett, and the defending quarterbacks challenge champion, Taysom Hill. They went all-out in planning the first challenge of this year’s training camp, taking inspiration from the Nintendo “Mario Kart” video game series; racing games in which players use homing-missile turtle shells to sabotage their competitors. The game has been a fixture in the Saints locker room for years, and makes for a natural fit in the quarterbacks challenge.
