An emotional Drew Brees posted to Instagram a short video clip from the Tom Benson second line Friday in the French Quarter.
"Mr. Benson wouldn't want it any other way," Brees said after he panned the camera around to show the hundreds of fellow mourners on the sun splashed afternoon. "Unbelievable. Only in New Orleans. We love you, Mr. B. God bless you."
Brees served was one of nine honorary pallbearers along with New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton.
Benson owned the Saints since 1985. He purchased the New Orleans Pelicans basketball team in 2012.
