Drew Brees of New Orleans Saints, 2010’s Super Bowl winning quarterback says he is strongly considering entering politics when he stops throwing the ball.

The professional athlete told Reuters that he finds the challenges in politics ‘intriguing’, leading him to believe that he would find a political career ‘stimulating’.

"Definitely, politics fascinates me, I find it very interesting. I guess, when you look at all the issues and certainly in the current economic times, at times you hate to see both parties going at each other like they do," Brees said, according to Reuters.

He added, "You feel at times, man this is counter-productive, why can't we just stick to the issues? Why can't we just work to resolve some of the problems that our country has and the rest of the global economy has and (focus on) ways that we can help?”.

Brees is one of the strongest players of New Orleans and the political-wannabe, noted Reuters led his team in New Orleans Saints, giving his team its first NFL title last year.

The quarterback, who was first drafted by the San Diego Charges in 2001, is confident that while he can lead a team to victory, he told Reuters that he can also provide great leadership in political arena.

The NFL’s 2004 Comeback Player of the Year said that if he could make a difference ‘in the field’, he asserted that he could also make a difference in people’s lives, citing what he would often hear from every politician he knew.

"I think the fact is that anybody who goes into politics feels like 'I can make a difference'. But it's not one person, you need so many others. I would love to do it, probably at some point, but I'll wait a while."

Brees is described by Reuters as an ‘articulate and effective communicator’, and has been involved in several community projects.

But the 32-year-old football player was quick to point out that he is not ready for a career change. At least, not just yet.

"I'd consider it, I am not going to close any doors, hopefully that's some way away, I'd love to be able to play football for as long as I can but we'll see. There are lots of thing I want to do after I stop playing," insisted Brees, named as MVP in 2010’s Super Bowl win over the Indianapolis Colts.
