Drew Brees, with his 40th birthday rapidly approaching, is arguably playing the best football of his career. This season alone Brees is on pace for 4,548 passing yards, 32 touchdowns, and a 77.4-percent completion rate. These numbers are impressive considering the 77.4-percent completion rate would be the highest of his career, and a new NFL record. The rest of the statistics are incredible considering his age, and this season marking the 18th of his career.
Drew Brees holds nearly every meaningful passer record in the book. While owning those records, Brees also has earned 11 Pro-Bowl appearances, the 2009 Super Bowl MVP, and two NFL Offensive Player of the Year Awards.
