Sean McDermott says Drew Brees was his toughest quarterback challenge

Sean McDermott revealed that preparing for Drew Brees kept him up at night during his coaching career. As a defensive coordinator, McDermott faced Brees multiple times in the NFC South while coaching the Carolina Panthers, recording more losses than wins against the Saints. He highlighted Brees's accuracy and understanding of NFL defenses as key factors that made him a challenging opponent. Both Brees and McDermott's former player, Luke Kuechly, will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame this summer.
