Drew Brees is a real Saint.

Drew along with Ellen DeGeneres gave a heartwarming surprise to two friends.

Here is the back story according to the Washington Post ,

It all started during the Saints' 2009 Super Bowl run. Jackson Smith was serving with the United States Marine Corps in Afghanistan, but that didn't mean his best friend, Brian McKenna, would let him miss out on the wild ride to victory for the Saints.

 

So McKenna cut a giant cardboard cut-out of his friend and had it with him for every Saints game so he wouldn't feel left out.

Fast forward a few years later, Brian McKenna was in a biking accident and is now paralyzed, so Smith created a similar cardboard cutout, which he brought to Saints training camp. There, Brees took another photo.

Ellen DeGeneres brought all three together on her show for a big surprise.
