Tom Brady and other NFL stars paid tributes to Drew Brees after his retirement

Tom Brady thanked Drew Brees after his retirement.

Drew Brees’ NFL career officially came to an end on Sunday when he had his kids gleefully make his retirement announcement in a sweet video on Instagram.

The QB, who spent the last 15 years with the Saints and brought a Super Bowl title to the city of New Orleans in 2009, leaves the game as the all-time leader in passing yards and is second in TD passes.

While some of Twitter instantly went nuts over Taysom Hill’s “new deal” after the Brees news came out, NFL players and teams took to social media to congratulate Brees on his legendary career that spanned 20 years.

Tom Brady, who shared a special moment with Brees and his kids after their playoff game last January, was one of those players:
