Drew Brees transcended football by bringing leadership, integrity, and hope to New Orleans, playing a pivotal role in the city's resurgence and earning a rightful place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame for his impact on and off the field.

Former Saints quarterback Drew Brees speaks from the heart about playing for the city of New Orleans, who dealt with Hurricane Katrina.

Brees, who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday, was joined Friday morning by Rickey Jackson (Class of 2010, Saints player from 1981-93), Willie Roaf (Class of 2012, Saint from 1993-2001) and Morten Andersen (Class of 2017, Saint from 1982-94), while Brees made a promotional visit and worked a shift at Raising Cane's in Canton, Ohio.

Not many New Orleans Saints fans can say they have seen nearly every snap, tackle, throw and play, but Calvin Anderson can.

For 15 years, Juan Parke has tended bar at Snake & Jake's Christmas Club Lounge. He kept records of how much free Jägermeister he handed out after Saints touchdowns — and how the community rallied behind Hall-of-Famer Drew Brees.
