During his press conference today, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees didn’t hold back from ripping former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams as well as the NFL league office for how they handled the bounty scandal.
Drew Brees slams Gregg Williams and Mike Cerullo, calling both of them “disgruntled” former employees and questions their mental state.
