Appearing in his No. 88 New Orleans Saints jersey, tight end Jeremy Shockey gave Drew Brees a big hug after the quarterback won a charity softball game on Wednesday at Zephyr Field. Actually he offered more than supports to his quarterback- the tight end made commitment that he would take part in team’s offseason workouts as frequently as he can.
Actually what Shockey promised was that he would do what he did during last offseason, that was spending most of his offseason with the team. What’s interesting, Shockey seems to enjoy working out with the Saints than practicing with the New York Giants in his first six career years with the latter team. While being a Giant, he spent most of his offseason saying in his college town of Miami, but after joining the Saints, he surprised quite a lot of people by working hard with quarterback Brees and other teammates in New Orleans. Well, Shockey explained that he simply like the weather in New Orleans much more than that in New York.
"You know, it's hard working out in New York when it's cold outside and you have to work indoors. It's great weather here, and I have no excuse not to be here," Shockey said. "We work all the time. Today we worked on routes with Drew and everything. So I'm here a lot of the time. And if I'm not here it's for a good reason."
