I wondered if he knew Drew had set the record for the most passing yardage in Saints history and was handing Drew the touchdown ball for a keepsake....
I sincerely doubt Darren Sharper is on the sideline keeping up with Drew's stat line. Plus, I don't think the conversation went like this, "hey Drew this is the ball you just set the Saints all time passing yardage record with! You mind throw me a few with it, you know, just so I can say I played catch with you?"
I think its safe to say Sharper wanted to warm up his hands before taking the field against a Bengals team that would have no choice but to throw the ball to get into the endzone. It's the type of move you'd expect from a Hall of Fame Safety who prides himself on taking the ball away.
