ASHBURN, Va. -- There’s a long way to go for Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins to match what New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has done in the NFL. There’s a long way to go before they can be rightfully compared.
But Pierre Thomas, who played with Brees for eight seasons in New Orleans and spent the last month of the season in Washington, saw some similarities between their games and approach.
Cousins asked Thomas about Brees and how it was working with him. That led to a discussion later with reporters about whether the two quarterbacks shared any characteristics.
