Drew Brees: ‘You can’t stop the aging process, but I think you can delay it a little bit’
 

Back in September, before the 2018 season began, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees said he still feels 25.

On Sunday, Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said Brees looks even younger.

“Well, it's just incredible to think that he's in his late 30s now and he looks like he's 22, 23, 24 years old the way he moves around and throws the football,” Garrett said on a teleconference with New Orleans reporters.

When told that Garrett thought Brees looked 23, the quarterback doubled down on what he said earlier this year.

“I feel 25. I don’t feel 23,” Brees said Sunday afternoon. “Mind over matter, you know? You can’t stop the aging process, but I think you can delay it a little bit."

Brees is having an incredible season for the Saints at age 39. He’s led them to a 10-1 record and is the frontrunner to be the NFL MVP.

Brees this year is completing 76.4 percent of passes and has 3,135 yards, 29 touchdowns, two interceptions and a 127.3 passer rating. The completion percentage and passer rating would both be NFL single-season records.

As he continues to thrive in his 18th NFL season, Brees credited his commitment to recovery and body maintenance, in addition to other aspects of his daily and weekly routine.

His preperation on the craft of his game and his own self is second to none. More players need to take his approach to the game.
