When Drew Brees stepped away from NBC to spend more time with his family, he didn’t close the door on any future broadcasting opportunities completely.
Brees spoke to the AP Pro Football Podcast about his broadcasting past and what could be his future. In the discussion, he noted that he sees the way football is being watched is changing with alternate broadcasts.
“I think the world by which the fans consume the game is also changing. I think you see a lot of these alternative broadcasts that are taking place. … It’s really kind of an interesting way to watch the game and hear the game and learn about the game.”
Brees then added that doing an alternate broadcast, much like the ManningCast, is something that he’d be very interested in exploring.
“From my perspective, I just watch a game totally different than probably most people,” he said. “It’s hard to just sit back and watch it as a fan. You’re so analytical with everything. You put yourself in the moment at all times. And I think that’s a really interesting perspective for fans to hear. I look forward to finding ways that that can be communicated in a much more in-depth way that’s kind of outside the norm or what is like the typical formula for broadcasting a game.”
