Drew Brees has been extremely impressed with the play of the younger quarterback in the NFL.

“First of all, it’s hard to win in this league,” Brees said. “Serious. It’s hard. So, no matter if you’re a seasoned veteran quarterback or first- or second-year quarterback, it’s hard. And it doesn’t get any easier.” 

Younger quarterbacks like Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck have had a lot of success to date as rookies.

“I’m extremely impressed with how some of these young quarterbacks have come in and played,” Brees continued. “What was it? Five rookie starters this year. I find that amazing. It just seems like these guys are on such a fast track coming out of college, whether it’s the coaching they get, the offenses they are running, just their exposure. Whatever it is, they just seem so much more well-prepared than I was coming into this league. Just seems like they are light years ahead. And the game continues to evolve.”
