By all accounts quarterback Drew Brees is a nice guy. So it isn’t shocking to hear him sing new Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone’s praises. But he went a step further in describing his feelings for his former offensive coordinator.
Those words tumbling out of a future Hall of Fame quarterback and arguably the best passer in NFL history are big for the Jaguars and big for Jags fans. Promoting Marrone wasn’t particularly popular, especially as he was attached to the former, failed Gus Bradley regime. Getting buy-in from one of his former players – especially such a respected player – should go a long way.
