It hasn't been an easy offseason for Drew Brees, but the New Orleans Saints' quarterback isn't about to back down from a challenge, even when it comes from a teammate.
When cornerback Corey White, the Saints' little-known fifth-round pick, was asked about joining the team, he didn't exactly gush with reverence over the six-time Pro Bowl quarterback:
"It's going to be fun picking off some balls from Drew Brees," White told The Times-Picayune. "It is going to be real fun."
Brees lobbed one back at White on Friday:
To my guy Corey White. Love your confidence, but I will throw 10 over your head for every 1 time you get me. Make sure you're workin!

White arrives in New Orleans by way of Samford University and will take part in this weekend's rookie minicamp with the Saints. As Gregg Rosenthal pointed out, this year's draft haul didn't exactly change the landscape of the roster, but Saints coaches love White's 6-foot, 205-pound frame and view him as an athletic, gritty corner with the ability to play press coverage at the line.
"I am real confident in my game," White said. "You have to be confident to play this game."
We suddenly have a camp showdown to look forward to in New Orleans.
