“Drew Brees Made His Greatest Comeback on his Head, Not on the Field”: NFL Fans Troll Saints Legend For Making a ‘Fake’ Comeback on NBC’s ‘Sunday Night Football’

Drew Brees made his return to an NFL stadium tonight, just not in the way Saints fans would have hoped. The newly retired QB was part of the NBC broadcast crew, and fans noticed he was looking a little different.

Brees played in his last professional football game this January in a 30-20 loss to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tonight, around 250 days later, he’s part of the crew that’s calling the game for the very same Bucs (literally the same Bucs, they returned all 22 starters).

While it was certainly heartwarming to see Brees involved with football again so soon after his retirement, NFL fans couldn’t help but point out a weird difference in his appearance.

The Saints legend, who for years was characterized by an above average-sized forehead, arrived on set with a full head of hair.
