New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees said he's going to work with his wife, Brittany Brees, to "maximize the impact" of their $5 million donation to the state of Louisiana amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Brees told TMZ Sports in an interview released Saturday that the family decided to act because there's "so much need and so many challenges" as a result of the COVID-19 situation.
"It hurts my heart to a great degree to what all Americans are going through, but especially the state of Louisiana," he said.
