Roman Harper says Drew Brees’ post game locker room speech after throwing 5 interceptions in a loss was the most impressive display of accountability and leadership he's ever seen “In Atlanta in 2012, like the worst game you probably played, probably since high school or probably before that. I’ll never forget it. You’d helped us win so many games, and then after the game you had five interceptions. We come in and immediately Sean says what he says, and then you get to break down the huddle like you always do.” “And you’re like, ‘Man, I want to tell you guys right now, I will never have a game like that ever again.’ And you took all the blame, and you said it was about you and how much you had to get better.” “And we all wanted to just be like, ‘Bro, whoa, whoa, whoa. We wouldn’t even be where we are if it wasn’t because of you. As a team, let’s all rally together. We got your back.’ And I just always wanted you to know that, to me, that was the most impressive speech I ever heard you give because of the timing of it, what you said during it, and the why.” “When the guy that has everything and could always just be like, ‘It’s all good, I don’t have to take the blame,’ you step up when nobody’s really ready emotionally for you to do that and still take the bullet. And we’re like, we need to protect you from that because we don’t want you to go into a dark place. So just know that.” Drew Brees: “Yeah, me and the guys talk about that in our group chat. I appreciate that. I think my worst fear is that I’d ever let y’all down.” “And so that was definitely one of those moments. And I always want to own that.”
