It is hard for someone like New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, now in his 18th season in the NFL, to experience new things on a football field.
But last Sunday (Sept. 9) against the Buccaneers was a first: His viewpoint of Alvin Kamara's five-yard first-quarter touchdown run was that of a wide receiver's. For the first time in his career (as he remembers it, anyway), Brees broke the huddle and ran out toward the boundary to line up in a receiver's stance. Tampa Bay put a corner on him and everything.
It was because the Saints offense, on this play, was put in the hands of backup quarterback Taysom Hill.
