Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees retired from the league three years ago. Instead of trying to build himself up with a media job like other former players, he has decided to spend time with his family.

That time with his family might end for the next big NFL event.

Netflix is reportedly “in talks” to add NFL RedZone host Scott Hanson and former NFL quarterback Drew Brees to its NFL doubleheader coverage on Christmas day, as reported by Mike McCarthy of Front Office Sports.

Netflix will be streaming mega matchups that feature the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans.

McCarthy added that Scott Hanson and Brees will “contribute to Netflix’s international coverage” of the two games.

Brees previously worked for NBC following his playing career as he worked NFL and Notre Dame games in 2021, but that did not last for too long.

However, the former Saints quarterback did inform Front Office Sports earlier this year that he would be interested in returning to the announcing booth.

“I think I could be the absolute best at it, if given the opportunity,” he said. “I valued my time at NBC so much, for that year after I played, I spent most of that time in-studio on Sunday Night Football, having to work with some incredible people. … But I didn’t really get the chance to broadcast NFL games. And that’s what I feel like I’m most qualified to do. That’s what I feel like I’m most passionate about. And certainly where my knowledge base lies, right? Telling the story of the game, getting you inside the huddle, getting you inside the quarterback’s head, letting you know how we’re attacking this defense.”

Drew Brees Retired As The NFL’s All-Time Leader in Career Passing Yards

Drew Brees is a legend in every sense of the word.

Brees retired from football in 2021, having thrown for 80,358 yards and 571 touchdowns while winning Super Bowl XLIV with the Saints.

He retired as the leader in all-time passing yards.

It wouldn’t last long as Tom Brady would eventually pass him up.

The dynamic quarterback was inducted into the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame in October 2024.
