After much consideration and unknown rumors for some time now, former Purdue Boilermaker’s quarterback, Drew Brees has announced his retirement from the game of football.
Drew will be a first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee when he is eligible in 5 years or so. Brees had such an impact on the Purdue football program, bringing the Boilermakers to relevancy during his time in West Lafayette.
The three-year starter ended his Purdue career with 11,792 passing yards and 90 touchdowns to only 45 interceptions, while winning 33 games as a part of the team. A long list of accomplishments includes the 2000 Maxwell Award, Two-time Heisman Trophy finalist, two-time B1G Offensive Player of the Year, and 2000 Academic All American as well.
