Drew Christopher Brees (born January 15, 1979 in Austin, Texas) is an American football quarterback for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League. He was originally drafted by the San Diego Chargers in the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft. He also played college football at Purdue.
Brees has been selected to the Pro Bowl three times in his career - with the Chargers in 2004 and the Saints in both 2006 and 2008. He was named the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year in 2004 and the Offensive Player of the Year in 2008.
Brees was selected by the San Diego Chargers with the first pick of the second round in 2001. Brees played in his first-career game on November 4, 2001 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He won the starting job over Doug Flutie during training camp before the start of the 2002 season, but was later replaced during the 2003 season by Flutie.
In his rookie season, Brees played only one game under head coach Mike Riley and earned a passer rating of 94.8. In his second year, he passed for 3,284 yards and 17 touchdowns under new head coach Marty Schottenheimer. The Chargers looked to turn Brees' second season into a successful one as they started 4–0. However, an up-and-down season ending with the Chargers losing their last four games placed the team at 8–8, while Brees earned a 76.9 passer rating for the season. Brees was named the starter for the 2003 season, passing for a career low 2,108 yards and earning a 67.5 rating.
The Chargers went 4-12 under the leadership of both Brees and Flutie. San Diego earned the first overall pick with said record, and through a deal with the New York Giants got Philip Rivers for Eli Manning. However, due to the long contract negotiations between Rivers and the Chargers, Brees started the following season and had a break out year.
Brees' career with the Chargers was briefly put in jeopardy after San Diego acquired N.C. State's Philip Rivers. After the trade, it was almost certain Brees' days as the Chargers' starting QB were over. However, Rivers held out nearly all of training camp. This forced the Chargers coaching staff to give Brees one last look and he persevered to remain the starter throughout the 2004 season and jump to near the top of the league's statistical rankings.
Brees held the third best rating in the NFL, at 104.8 (behind Peyton Manning and Daunte Culpepper). Brees was selected to the 2005 NFL Pro Bowl following his impressive 2004 season. He was also named 2004 NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
Brees became a free agent after the 2004 season and was not expected to return to San Diego, which had already committed a large sum of money to Rivers. The team eventually designated Brees as a franchise player, giving him a one-year contract that quadrupled his pay to $8 million for the 2005 season.
Under the terms of the "franchise player" contract, Brees was eligible to be traded, but the Chargers would have had to receive two future first round draft choices in return. He was not traded and continued to start the remainder of the 2005 season.
In the Halloween 2004 matchup against the Oakland Raiders, he completed 22 out of 25 passes for 281 yards and 5 TDs in a 41–14 victory. He followed that productive performance the next week versus the New Orleans Saints, where he went 22 of 36 for 257 yards and 4 TD in a 43-17 triumph. He would finish the season with 3,159 passing yards, 27 TD, and only 7 INT giving him a QB rating of 104.8.
In the postseason, he threw for 319 yards and 2 TD with 1 INT on 31 of 42 passing in a losing effort against the New York Jets in Qualcomm Stadium in overtime (17–20).
Drew continued his productive play in 2005, as he posted a career high in passing yards with 3,576. Brees also posted an 89.2 rating, which was the 10th best in the NFL. Additionally, during the 2005 season he led the Chargers to a win over the New England Patriots at New England, thus breaking a home-winning streak held by the Patriots at Gillette Stadium while posting a 137.5 rating resulting from 19 of 24 passing, 248 yards, 2 TD, and 0 INT. Later that season, Brees led the Chargers to a 48–10 victory over the Buffalo Bills. He completed 28 of 33 passing for 399 yards and four touchdowns.
Brees battled through 3 turnovers (2 INT, 1 fumble) to throw a 54 yard pass that would set up a field goal which regained the lead in a crucial game against the previously undefeated Indianapolis Colts 26-17.
Brees was selected as first alternate to the AFC Pro Bowl team in 2006. He would have played in his second consecutive Pro Bowl due to the injury to Carson Palmer; however, his own injury dictated that the AFC Pro Bowl roster would have to be filled by second alternate Jake Plummer.
Brees signed a 6-year, $60 million deal with the New Orleans Saints on March 14, 2006. The Saints hoped the former Comeback Player of the Year could improve the team and lead them to the playoffs. Brees also claimed he was impressed by the team's new-found commitment to winning and their confidence in him as a player.
Brees had a productive year in 2006. He threw a league-leading 4,418 passing yards, finished third in the league with 26 touchdown passes and 11 interceptions and a 96.2 passer rating. On November 19, 2006 he also achieved a career best 510 passing yards in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
On December 19, 2006, Brees was named the starting quarterback for the NFC team in the 2007 Pro Bowl.
On January 5, 2007, Brees was named the first runner-up behind former teammate LaDainian Tomlinson for league MVP by the Associated Press. He was also co-recipient of the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award (which he shared with LaDainian Tomlinson) at the conclusion of the season.
On January 13, 2007, in his first playoff game for New Orleans, Brees was 20-32 in passing attempts with 1 touchdown and no interceptions vs. the Philadelphia Eagles in the Louisiana Superdome.
On January 21, 2007, Brees led the Saints to the franchise's first NFC Championship Game against the Chicago Bears.
In 2008, Brees finished 15 yards short of the NFL record for passing yards thrown in a single season set by Dan Marino in 1984. Brees did, however, have the opportunity to break Marino's record on the Saints final play of the season. The Carolina Panthers secondary gave his receivers room to make a 15 yard catch in order to defend the Hail Mary that could have won the game.
Brees' pass to Lance Moore, however, fell incomplete and he did not get the record. Nevertheless, he finished the season with 5,069 yards and became only the second quarterback in NFL history to throw for over 5,000 yards in a season.
