Drew Brees may be retiring from football, but the 20-year NFL veteran isn't leaving the game behind. Less than 24 hours after announcing the end of his playing days, he already has his next gig lined up.
In an interview on NBC's "Today Show" Monday, the longtime New Orleans Saints quarterback announced that he's joining the NBC Sports broadcast team as a football analyst.
"I'm part of the team now, a new team," Brees said. "I'm excited about that journey. I'm excited to stay very closely connected with the game of football, it's been such an important part of my life.
