Saints legend Drew Brees is the first player in franchise history to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. The formal announcement was made on Thursday night. No one could have predicted that Brees would become one of the most prolific quarterbacks in the NFL history when he was selected in the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft…
Brees became the first quarterback to surpass 80-thousand career passing yards and his 571 touchdown passes are the second most in NFL history. His career completion percentage is the highest in league history.
The fifth-ranked LSU women’s basketball dropped a crucial SEC matchup 77-64 at fourth-ranked Texas last night. In the loss, the Tigers turned the ball over 19 times. With the loss, LSU only has a 9% chance to win at least a share of the regular-season SEC title. The Tigers will wrap up their weeklong road trip on Sunday when they face Auburn at 1 p.m.
There will be four former LSU Tigers playing in Sunday’s Super Bowl. Anthony Bradford is a starting guard for Seattle, and the Patriots have K’Lavon Chaisson, Will Campbell and Kayshon Boutte. Campbell never played for a championship at Neville High School or at LSU. But as a rookie in the NFL, he gets his opportunity after the Patriots used the fourth overall pick to select him.
