Drew Brees tells Zion Williamson, “passing the torch to you”

Attached Thumbnails · 06-25-2019, 10:08 AM

Drew Brees is ready to pass the torch to the next big star in New Orleans.

Brees gave Zion Williamson, the No. 1 overall pick of the New Orleans Pelicans, a signed jersey welcoming him to town.

According to Andrew Lopez of the Times-Picayune, the inscription on the jersey read, “To Zion – Passing the torch to you! Who Dat!”

Williamson has a long way to go before he’s accomplished as much in New Orleans as Brees, but Brees knows his time in New Orleans is winding down, while Williamson is just beginning what many expect to be a Hall of Fame career.

I only watched a handful of Pels games in 2018, however I think Zion has the potential to become a "super star" caliber player in New Orleans.

He's a very humble kid. Just give him time, he's only 18.

Nice gesture by the Great Drew Brees.

He's going to be amazing unless he gets disgruntled in 2 years but I doubt it. We have the future picks to build a contender. I'm finally excited about the Pelicans again. Next season will be rough but way more enjoyable to watch.

OMG... What just happened? Do I really have to start watching the NBA again?
Where will I find the time?

You have to watch Game of Thrones to get this.
