“I could not be more impressed because just in the times I’ve seen him play, it’s not like he’s just throwing it to really good athletes with a ton of space and they’re just running and making plays,” Brees said, according to NOLA.com. “I mean, he’s making some legit throws down the field. He’s making some legit reads, just from what I’ve seen.

“So, I couldn’t be more impressed. Especially, if you go from his first game last year coming in in the middle of the national championship -- are you kidding me? -- and playing the way that he did. Obviously, he’s throwing the ball exceptionally well. He appears to be a great athlete. They appear to be doing a lot of that RPO stuff with him pulling it and running it. He runs physical. He runs tough. Yet, he can spin it down the field. That’s a rare combination.
