The last time Brandin Cooks wore a New Orleans Saints uniform, he was catching passes from Drew Brees in 2016.

Nine seasons later, Cooks is back in the Big Easy and will most likely be working with a young quarterback for his 12th NFL campaign.

A three-way QB competition is brewing between 2025 second-round pick Tyler Shough, 2024 fifth-round selection Spencer Rattler and 2023 fourth-round pick Jake Haener, and Cooks says it's been fun to watch the battle throughout the offseason so far, Christian Gonzales of NFL.com reports.

"Yeah, absolutely it should bring the best out of you," Cooks told reporters Thursday, via the team website. "It's fun seeing those guys compete. All three of them are having a great spring. So, it's going to be fun to watch that competition."

Cooks has been impressed with the young quarterbacks so far in the little time he's worked with them.

"They're playing with a lot of confidence, both of those guys," Cooks said of Shough and Rattler. "And you can see the competition going on. They can definitely sling it. So, I look forward to continuing to see that grow"
