Nigel Bradham eager to join the Saints, “a place where it’s known for winning”

Nigel Bradham is entering his ninth season as a pro and his first with the New Orleans Saints.
Bradham explained how this season with the Saints will feel different than with his previous two teams, the Bills and Eagles.
It’s definitely a different type of environment, a different culture. Because the last two organizations I went to weren’t really winning organizations, Nigel Bradham.
Oddly enough Bradham has already won a Super Bowl as a member of the Eagles who defeated the Patriots with QB Nick Foles

Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins joins CNN as a contributor

One member of the Saints will be a prominent voice on television in the days ahead.
Veteran safety Malcolm Jenkins was hired by CNN in a contributor role, as first reported by Variety.com’s Brian Steinberg.
Jenkins has made guest appearances on the network in the past, speaking on his activism towards achieving social justice as a leader of the Players Coalition.
Jenkins is acutely aware that there are more important things in life than football. And he’s prepared to use his platform to advocate for issues important to him and the Black community.
Now more than ever, the public needs to be educated on the roles of elected positions of power, such as the District Attorney, Police Chief or City Council and how to hold those individuals accountable, especially through their voice and their vote. In an important election year, I’m eager to join the CNN family and share my perspective as a regular contributor, Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins

Drew Brees wouldn’t agree with players protesting during anthem

Drew Brees was asked by Yahoo’s Daniel Roberts on Wednesday how he would feel about players kneeling in protest during the playing of the national anthem once the season starts.
Players across the NFL have spoken out on the death of George Floyd, who was killed by a Minneapolis police officer after the officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
Brees’ feelings about kneeling during the anthem haven’t changed despite the current status of our country, saying he’ll never agree with that type of protest.
Brees made his stance clear three years ago when he said everyone should be standing for the national anthem, which was in response to Colin Kaepernick’s protest.
The Saints quarterback went on to explain his reasoning, saying that he thinks of his two grandfathers who served in the military during World War II.
I envision my two grandfathers who fought for this country during World War II — one in the Army and one in the Marine Corps…in many cases, it brings me to tears thinking about all that has been sacrificed. Not just those in the military, but for that matter, those throughout the civil rights movements of the ’60s and all that has been endured by so many people up until this point, Saints quarterback Drew Brees.
Brees did participate in “Blackout Tuesday” this week, which was a sign of support for those fighting racial inequality and oppression
