What happened: Manti Te'o praised former teammate Drew Brees, calling him "one of the greatest to ever do it" while recalling their time together in New Orleans. Te'o spent part of his career with the Saints, overlapping with Brees before the quarterback's retirement.

Why it matters: The tribute adds to the steady stream of reflections on Brees's standing among the game's all-time great passers, built across two decades in New Orleans. It comes from the same Manti Te'o who has been making the offseason media rounds, keeping the former linebacker in the conversation this summer.

What to watch: Watch for whether Te'o expands on his Saints tenure or other former teammates as he continues offseason media appearances.
