“It was a dream of mine,” Winston said of playing with Brees last season. “… He doesn’t even know how much he means to me.
“I really love Drew Brees. I don’t think he understands. I know my wife do. I know my family do. You have to understand the impact that him and a lot of other quarterbacks had on me as a quarterback growing up in Bessemer, Alabama. A lot of people don’t understand the human aspect to an athlete. I love Drew Brees, for real.”
