Drew Brees continues to do great deeds off the field. The former New Orleans Saints great has announced a scholarship honoring Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce who started his college career as a walk-on at Cincinnati.
Brees shared the big news on social media, saying that it will be awarded to 13 walk-on collegiate athletes. These scholarships will be given out on behalf of Walk-On’s Bistreaux, a restaurant chain of which Brees is the co-owner.
“These scholarships represent more than just financial aid. They’re a salute to the relentless spirit and unwavering dedication that drives athletes to excel, mirroring the qualities that Jason Kelce showcased throughout his career,” Brees said during his announcement.
Kelce, who recently announced his retirement after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, steps away as one of the most-decorated offensive linemen of his generation. He earned seven Pro Bowls, six first-team All-Pro selections, and a Super Bowl championship. To say the least, a very accomplished career for the former walk-on.
