Here’s the best video you’ll see all day … Drew Brees<\/strong> surprised a walk-on Purdue softball player with a special NIL deal — and her reaction was priceless!!!<\/p>\n Emilee Cox<\/strong> was on the line with Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux CEO Brandon Landry<\/strong> … when Brees — who co-owns the Walk-On’s parent company — jumped in to break some great news to the softball player.<\/p>\n The NFL legend and former Boilermakers star helped explain to Emilee she’d be the recipient of this week’s “Walk-On of the Week” honor — and she lost her mind!!!<\/p>\n “Oh, my gosh!” said Cox, a Purdue infielder. “I’m shaking. I’m literally shaking! Oh, my gosh. Can you see how red I just got?!?”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Brees congratulated her on the award — which is a big deal for a walk-on, ’cause it’ll come with cash and other perks that’ll help Cox pay her tuition and other school bills.<\/p>\n “Emilee, I’ve heard so much about you,” Drew said on the call. “Congratulations!”<\/p>\n Cox continued to freak out, and it was all amazing to watch.<\/p>\n Landry then explained to Brees that Cox was such a huge Purdue fan, she turned down other schools’ offers to take a walk-on spot with the Boilermakers — something Brees loved.<\/p>\n “Great work, Emilee,” Drew told the rising junior. “So happy for you and keep representing everything that’s great about Purdue.”<\/p>\n Emilee finished the call by thanking Brees again … adding, “I did not expect this tonight!”<\/p>\n #AWESOME<\/p>\n
