Drew Brees plays something called “Quarterback Golf”

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has never held back his love of golf. The nine-time Pro Bowler even competed in Golf Digest’s U.S. Open Challenge at Pebble Beach in 2010.

Apparently, that love of the sport has carried over into a different kind of challenge with his teammates.

An article in The Wall Street Journal article details the relationship between Brees and his backups — a group that was rushed into action this past week with a shoulder injury sidelining the team’s star signal caller — and describes the intense, but friendly competitions they engage in on and off the football field. From throwing competitions to pool to bowling, Brees is constantly challenging his understudies and keeping score.
