Drew Brees is widely regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, having played 20 seasons, primarily with the New Orleans Saints. Over the course of his career, Brees became second all-time in several key statistical categories, including career passing yards, career touchdown passes, career pass completions, and career completion percentage. His consistency and precision on the field were unmatched, and he holds the record for consecutive games with a touchdown pass, surpassing Johnny Unitas' long-standing record. Brees' leadership and skill were instrumental in transforming the Saints into a perennial contender.

Brees' journey to NFL stardom began at Purdue University, where he set Big Ten Conference records for completions, attempts, and yards. Despite his collegiate success, concerns about his height and arm strength led to him being selected in the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers. After a few challenging seasons, Brees had a breakout year in 2004, earning Pro Bowl honors and the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award. However, a serious shoulder injury in 2005 led the Chargers to part ways with him, allowing Brees to sign with the New Orleans Saints, a move that would change the trajectory of both his career and the franchise.

Upon joining the Saints in 2006, Brees quickly became the face of the franchise, leading the team to unprecedented success. Under his leadership, the Saints made nine playoff appearances, won seven division titles, and reached the NFC Championship Game three times. The pinnacle of Brees' career came in 2010 when he led the Saints to their first Super Bowl victory in Super Bowl XLIV, earning the game's MVP award. His impact on the city of New Orleans extended beyond the field, as he became a symbol of hope and resilience in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

By the time Brees retired after the 2020 season, he had been selected to 13 Pro Bowls and had twice been named the NFL Offensive Player of the Year. He also led the league in passing yards a record seven times, further solidifying his legacy as one of the most prolific passers in NFL history. After his playing career, Brees briefly worked as an analyst for NBC's Sunday Night Football and later returned to Purdue as an interim assistant coach in 2022, continuing his involvement in the sport he loves.
