Legends of DVOA: Drew Brees' Bombers

Drew Brees has had many, many memorable weapons over the years: some bona fide superstars (most recently Michael Thomas), homegrown heroes who rose from nowhere (Marques Colston, Pierre Thomas), erratic but breathtaking talents with outsized reputations (Jimmy Graham, Reggie Bush, Jeremy Shockey), some unique all-purpose players (Darren Sproles, Alvin Kamara, and yes, Taysom Hill), and a few guys who might have slipped your mind until you read this sentence (Deuce McAllister, Brandin Cooks before he began wandering the league).

And then there were Brees' Bombers: designated deep threats such as Devery Henderson, Robert Meachem and others. They didn't catch many passes.
