Zion Williamson is one popular guy, especially in New Orleans.
Drew Brees is just one of many to welcome the Pelicans’ No. 1 draft pick to the Big Easy. The Saints quarterback recently gifted Williamson a signed jersey and a personalized note, which he discovered shortly after his arrival to the city.
The note attached reads: “Zion, Welcome to the family. Let’s dance!”
(Williamson notably shouted the phrase “Let’s dance!” after being selected first in the 2019 NBA Draft, and clearly loved Brees’ reference.)

“To Zion – Passing the torch to you! Who dat!”
