Saints QB Challenge 8/13 Update [VIDEO]
Every player in the NFL loves to compete and to have fun: that’s why they play football (money aside). When training camp’s practice is over and you have a competitive guy like Drew Brees on your team you know what’s coming: QB challenge!
Two days ago Brees posted a photo on Twitter, stating that rookie Logan Kilgore won the first challenge with 6 points. Later Kilgore quoted Brees’ tweet adding a comment:
“@drewbrees: PM QB Comp: 5 throws from Balcony, 1pt for hit, 2pts for knockdown.Winner: #5 w 6pts"first win of many! pic.twitter.com/byES4Dnlcl”
