Saints' Luke McCown serves as more than a punchline with new deal
Drew Brees helped push his good buddy Luke McCown to national prominence in 2015 with the New Orleans Saints backup quarterback starring in a hilarious Verizon commercial. McCown proved to be quite the spokesman for the cellular company, one that Brees heavily endorses.
A total coincidence shoved McCown into action for his day job after Brees sustained a right shoulder injury and only shortly after the commercial hit the airwaves. McCown didn't lead the Saints to a win against eventual NFC champion Carolina in Week 3. He certainly proved his value as Brees' backup, though.
