New Orleans Saints all-time leading passer Drew Brees was inside the Caesars Superdome for the Saints' Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Brees is considered as the best player in franchise history by most due to his excellent on-field performance, and he was being honored as the Saints "Legend of the Game" before their upcoming matchup.

An obvious fan favorite, Brees was seen smiling and signing autographs before the game as shown below.

There was also a touching moment when Brees embraced fellow Saints legend Steve Gleason, who was in attendance, with the "fo to fo" gesture that involves Brees putting his his forehead to the forehead of Gleason.

Gleason described the "fo to fo" greeting in 2023.

"Fo to fo is soul to soul. Sacred Love." Gleason said in a tweet. "I love you and I love this crazy wonderful Life! Fo to fo, Mo Fo!"

Gleason returned home this week following a six-day stay in the hospital that began during Hurricane Francine.

Brees thrived against the Eagles throughout his career with the Saints having gone 4-2 against them in the regular season and 3-0 in the postseason.

Brees is among the NFL's all-time leading passers trailing only Tom Brady in career passing yards and touchdowns and is set to be inducted into the Saints Hall of Fame this year.
