'Special connection': Drew Brees' receivers reveal 18 years of greatness

Marques Colston has caught more passes from Drew Brees than anyone. But as he reflected on those 706 catches for 9,709 yards and 72 touchdowns, the former New Orleans Saints receiver laughed at how many of them he never actually saw leaving Brees' hand.

"Most of the intermediate routes, I would just see the ball come out of a pile of folks," Colston said of Brees, who needs 201 yards on Monday night against the Washington Redskins to surpass Peyton Manning and become the NFL's all-time leader in passing yards.
