METAIRIE, La. -- Drew Brees “absolutely” remembers Ronald Curry's heyday as one of the biggest high school stars of his era in the late 1990s.
“I remember seeing him in the McDonald’s dunk competition, like, ‘Oh my gosh, who is this guy?’” Brees said of Curry, who not only was the MVP of that McDonald’s all-star game but was also widely recognized as the national high school football player of the year after quarterbacking his Hampton High School team to three state titles in Virginia.
Michael Thomas also knew about Curry’s legendary high school exploits long before Curry became his mentor as a receivers coach with the New Orleans Saints over the past four years.
