Drew Brees' impressive NFL career came to an end after the 2020 season.

He spent the next NFL season working as a color analyst. Brees worked in the booth alongside NBC's play-by-play announcer, Mike Tirico, for a pair of games during his stint at the network. He also worked on Notre Dame football games and appeared in the studio and on location at stadiums for "Football Night in America." 

Brees left the network in May 2022, citing his desire to spend more time with family. Now, the former quarterback appears eager to return to broadcasting.

During a press conference announcing Brees' honor, he brought up his desire to take another shot at broadcasting. He also appeared confident he would excel if he got an opportunity.
