Drew Brees Not Struck By Lightning, Doing Fine Despite Scary Video

No, Drew Brees was not struck by lightning regardless of a scary video that appeared to point out he was … the NFL legend stated Friday a bolt by no means touched him, and he is doing effective.

Brees relayed the message in a textual content to ESPN Saints reporter Katherine Terrell … simply hours after footage surfaced seemingly displaying the ex-New Orleans quarterback in peril.

In the clip, which was apparently shot whereas Brees was filming a industrial for the sports activities playing platform PointsBet in Catatumbo — an space in Venezuela identified for its constant thunderstorm exercise — you may see a lightning bolt making a beeline for Brees’ again.

The footage exhibits the bolt cracked onto the bottom, sending the 43-year-old former soccer participant and others scurrying away from the scene in a rush.

It’s unclear if it was all faux, staged or edited … PointsBet refused to substantiate or deny the scenario in a press release launched Friday morning.

“We are aware of the media coverage regarding PointsBet brand ambassador Drew Brees,” the org. stated.

“We are in communication with Brees’ team and will continue to monitor events throughout the coming hours. At this stage we will not be making any further comment.”

Brees, in the meantime, had tweeted earlier this week that he was “excited to be flying to a top-secret location later this week to shoot the new promotional video for @PointsBetUSA.”

We’ve reached out to reps for Brees for remark, however thus far, no phrase again but.
