Drew Brees: 'Young receivers will become household names'

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees believes that his side's young receivers will quickly be able to fill the shoes of their predecessors and become key players.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has claimed that his receivers will become household names in the near future.

The Saints traded away Jimmy Graham and Kenny Stills in the off-season as they retooled their offense following a disappointing 2014 campaign.

Brees believes that players such as Brandin Cooks and Josh Hill are more than capable of stepping up to replace them in the offense.

"I'm excited about all of these guys, I think all of them are chomping at the bit for an opportunity," Brees told ESPN.

"In many cases, you don't know these guys' names yet, and yet I think some of these guys are going to be household names pretty quick."

The 36-year-old threw for 4,952 yards and 33 touchdowns to 17 interceptions in the 2014 season.
