Overview
- The New Orleans Saints announced that Drew Brees will be added to the team’s Ring of Honor in an on-field halftime ceremony scheduled for Oct. 11 during the club’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.
- The move follows Brees’s recent election and induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and is presented by the team as a complementary, franchise-level recognition of his career.
- Saints owner Gayle Benson and general manager Mickey Loomis said the honor reflects Brees’s statistical records, leadership in the Saints’ Super Bowl XLIV title run, and his character off the field.
- Brees will be the ninth person inducted into the Saints Ring of Honor, joining figures such as Tom Benson, Archie Manning, Rickey Jackson and Morten Andersen.
- The club is including the induction as part of its 60th-season celebrations and the halftime ceremony will also be a public moment for fans to acknowledge Brees’s lasting impact on New Orleans through his play and civic work.
