The Jacksonville Jaguars are no strangers to high-profile guests dropping in at practice since Urban Meyer became their coach, and that was once again the case Thursday. On Thursday, it was a future Hall-of-Famer in Drew Brees joining the team as several reporters spotted him on the sideline talking to various coaches and players.
Of course, it was only right for Brees to also speak with the team after practice as most have grown to know him as one of the better NFL locker-room leaders in modern history. However, that moment may not have been as personal as the one DJ Chark Jr. (a Louisiana native) got with the former Saints quarterback who threw him a few passes off to the side.

The Jags have gotten off to a really slow start in the preseason, so maybe a good pep-talk with Brees can get them going. Regardless, it was neat to see him come through and talk with the team as they have several young players who are trying to figure out the NFL game.
