Drew Brees Hall of Fame NFL

Drew Brees became one of the most productive and accurate quarterbacks in NFL history during a 20-year career with the San Diego Chargers and New Orleans Saints. After finding his footing in San Diego, Brees reached another level after joining New Orleans in 2006. He led the NFL in passing yards seven times and passing touchdowns four times, while recording five seasons with more than 5,000 passing yards.

Brees guided the Saints to their first Super Bowl title in the 2009 season and earned Super Bowl XLIV MVP honors after defeating the Indianapolis Colts. He finished his career with 80,358 passing yards and 571 touchdown passes, both ranking second in NFL history at the time of his retirement.

A 13-time Pro Bowler and two-time AP Offensive Player of the Year, Brees was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2026.
