ST. LOUIS (AP) – It’s not your typical role model week for Sam Bradford.
Sure, the St. Louis Rams’ rookie quarterback was excited to see how he matched up with Matt Ryan last month and Philip Rivers in October. There’s more of a connection this week.
Before undergoing shoulder surgery last year, Bradford got some advice from a player who spent time on Dr. James Andrews’ operating table. Drew Brees, who came all the way back from career-threatening shoulder surgery in 2005, counseled the No. 1 pick to be diligent with his rehab.
Some encouraging words from the doctor, too. Andrews told the future No. 1 pick that Brees’ injury was 10 times worse. And look at what Brees has accomplished, winning the Super Bowl last season with the Saints.
The Rams will play at New Orleans on Sunday.
