Former New Orleans Saints head coach and current Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton will present Drew Brees when the legendary quarterback is enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame next week.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the move via social media.
Few players in the era of NFL free agency can rival the impact that Drew Brees made on the Saints since arriving in 2006 from the San Diego Chargers – leading the team to victory in Super Bowl XLIV and being named the contest’s MVP, earning Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors twice, Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year and Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year in 2010, being named to the Pro Bowl a club record 12 times and shattering league passing records.
He ranks among the league’s elite quarterbacks, becoming the first player in NFL history to pass for over 4,000 yards in 12-straight campaigns – including an NFL-record five 5,000-yard passing seasons. Brees has also set single-season NFL records since joining the Saints in 300-yard passing games (13, 2011), completions (471, 2016) and completion percentage (74.4%, 2018).
His streak of 54 consecutive games with at least one touchdown pass from 2009-12 shattered a mark that had stood since 1960.
He has the second-most passing touchdowns in NFL history with 571.
