Drew Brees is staying active in retirement.
The former New Orleans Saints quarterback appeared on Wednesday's episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to discuss his recent retirement from the NFL and how he plans to spend his time now.
"It's a little scary," Brees said of having so much free time. "Football did provide so much structure, right? The minute that I announced the retirement it all became real. I started looking around like, 'Oh man, what kind of crazy hobbies am I gonna get into now?' So I've been enjoying some of those lately."
One of those "crazy hobbies" Brees has been enjoying is a water sport called eFoiling.
"EFoiling is basically - so people have probably heard of a foil; it's basically a surfboard that has like a mast and a fin structure that kind of drops below it. It allows you to ride on really bigger swells. You don't necessarily have to catch waves, you can just ride big swells out in the middle of the ocean," he explained. "Well, then they decided, 'Well, wouldn't it be cool if we added a motor on here and a battery.' So that's the eFoil and it is a crazy experience. It's a cross between surfing and flying, which I'm really not good at either, but I can do this, which is pretty cool."
Brees will soon be embarking on another new endeavor as an analyst for NBC Sports' "Football Night in America" on Sunday nights and during Notre Dame broadcasts.
