Prior to Super Bowl XLVIII, former Broncos safety Mike Adams vowed to walk 12 miles from MetLife Stadium to his hometown of Paterson, New Jersey in full pads if Denver won the game. Adams ultimately didn’t get the chance to do it.
On Friday, Saints quarterback Drew Brees sort of did what Adams had planned to do.
Following a night practice at the football stadium on Tulane’s campus, Brees signed autographs roughly an hour after the team buses left. So when he was done, he grabbed his pads and walked home.
It wasn’t a 12-mile hike, but the distance of approximately two miles is far enough after football practice.
Brees posted a photo of the journey on Twitter, as a group of young Saints fans walked with him.
