Drew Brees rattled the NFL on Sunday when he announced his decision to retire after the 2020 season, leaving a historic legacy behind with the New Orleans Saints. Tributes and congratulations flooded in for Brees from teammates, peers, and rivals on social media, but one message dominated the conversation: “Thank you, Drew,” from his fans and supporters within and outside the Who Dat Nation.

And that expression was echoed on the walls of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, written large in addition to the stadium’s nightly lights show. That’s not the first time the Superdome has saluted him; Brees’ accomplishments have been displayed for the city to see before, celebrating broken records and big wins. It’s a fitting acknowledgement for the best player in team history. Let’s circle back in a few years once he’s voted into the Hall of Fame.
