Drew Brees is going back to Purdue as an interim assistant coach ahead of the Citrus Bowl.
The school announced Thursday that Brees will work on the field with players and participate in recruiting.
"I am extremely excited to work with our team over the next few weeks as we prepare for the Citrus Bowl," said Brees. "I see it not only as an opportunity to coach and mentor this group of young men, but represent all the former Purdue players that care so much about our program.
