It has been quite the journey over the last 21 years for Drew Brees. He completed his first pass as a college freshman back in 1997 during a 36-22 loss at Toledo. Back then he was a no name backup quarterback to Billy Dicken. He was only at Purdue because an injured knee in high school turned off his home state schools. Joe Tiller offered him and he ended up at Purdue. The rest is history.
And what an incredible amount of history it has been.
He is the only quarterback in Big Ten history to complete 1,000 passes with 1,026.
