Fellow NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers is one of the most prominent names to condemn the comments. He did not name drop, reply to, or tag Drew Brees. However, the words of his reply made his intended target crystal clear to all.
Also, San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman slammed the veteran quarterback. He tweeted, “He’s beyond lost. Guarantee you there were black men fighting along side your grandfather but this doesn’t seem to be about that. That uncomfortable conversation you are trying to avoid by injecting military into a conversation about brutality and equality is part of the problem.”

The duo had support in the form of Brees’ New Orleans teammates, too.
Brees’ former teammate Malcolm Jenkins who returned to the Saints ahead of the 2020 season too lashed out at the quarterback, despite revealing Brees provided him an explanation before he posted the video.
He tweeted, “I recorded a few videos when thinking of how to respond to Drew Brees, I don’t take any of it back-I meant what I said-I removed the 1st video because I knew it be more about the headlines. I want people to understand how those of us struggling with what’s going on feel.”

Former wide receiver Douglas Baldwin Jr labeled Brees as “the problem”
.@drewbrees the reason my children have to live in a world that won’t empathize with their pain is because people like you are raising your children to perpetuate the cycle. Drew, you are the problem.
