Drew Brees Says New Orleans Will 'Come Back Stronger' from COVID-19 Pandemic

Drew Brees is accustomed to New Orleans bouncing back from tragedy, and he firmly believes the city will do so again after its current all-out war with the coronavirus ends.

The New Orleans Saints superstar QB tells TMZ, he and his wife, Brittany, didn't hesitate to pledge $5 million to the state Louisiana once they saw how devastating the pandemic was becoming. As Drew put it, "I'm willing to do whatever we need to do to get past this, to come on the other side."

As we reported, Drew and Brittany's 7-figure donation will provide meals for out-of-school children and the elderly while state resources are focused on COVID-19 patients.
