Drew Brees helped Tyler Shough set up Saints' QB/WR retreat in San Diego

Tyler Shough's preparation for his first full season as the Saints' starting quarterback includes a little help from the franchise's most successful signal caller.

When Shough outlined his plans for the weeks leading up to training camp at the end of the team's offseason program, he shared that he has been working with Drew Brees to set up time to work out with his teammates in San Diego.

"Drew is kinda helping us set up our QB/wide receiver throwing retreat," Shough said. "We’re getting all the guys to come down there and just work and bond together. For me, it's just kind of continuing to study the playbook and then just put my feet and my eyes in the right position. That's my whole focus."

Shough told Katherine Terrell of ESPN that Brees "might be there for a little bit," but the main point of the gathering will be for the current Saints to hit the ground running as they try to build on a promising close to Shough's rookie year.
