Drew Christopher Brees (born JANUARY 15, 1979 in Austin Texas, is an American football Quarterback who formerly played for the San Diego Chargers in the NFL. In 2006 he signed a contract with the New Orleans Saints, and currently considered one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
NFL career
Draft
Brees was drafted by the San Diego Chargers with the first pick in the second round (32nd overall) in 2001. Brees was the second quarterback selected (behind Michael Vick) and San Diego's second selection of 2001, after San Diego traded the first overall pick to Atlanta Falcons for the 5th overall pick, which they used to select LaDaninian Tomlinson. This particular draft is notable for San Diego and Brees. Firstly, San Diego forfeited the opportunity to select Michael Vick in favor of Tomlinson, despite the fact that the quarterback position was the more pressing one. It was expected that the Miami Dolphins or Detroit Lions would select Brees in the first round, however both teams allowed Brees to slip to the second round, where San Diego happily drafted the QB. Additionally, the draft wassignificant for Brees because, while Brees was a senior at Purdue and attending the Heisman awards ceremony with the then TCU runningback Tomlinson, the two joked about how it would be great if they could be on the same team. Evidently as it turned out they did end up on the same team. During the draft, Tomlinson and Brees greeted each other and made a vow to turn the Chargers team around. He played in his first-career game on November 4, 2001, against the Kansas City Chiefs. Brees won the starting job over Doug Flutie during training camp before the start of the 2002 season, but was later replaced during the 2003 season by Flutie.
Early career
In his rookie season, Brees played only one game under head coach Mike Riley but did arguably well, garnering a passer rating of 94.8. In his second year, Brees wasn't able to silence critics who complained about his poor arm strength. Brees posted reasonable numbers, passing for 3284 yards and 17 touchdowns under new head coach Marty Schottenheimer. The Chargers looked to turn Brees' second season into a successful one as they started 4-0 against a difficult schedule. However, a series of losses forced the Chargers into a .500 at 8-8, and forced Brees to settle for a 76.9 rating on the season. Brees was named the starter of 2003, but failed to prove himself worthy of the job as he posted his worst season ever, with a career low 2108yards and 67.5 rating. The Chargers went 4-12 under the poor leadership of both Brees and Flutie. San Diego earned the first overall pick with said record, and through a deal with the New York Giants got Philips Rivers for Eli Manning. However, due to long contract negoatations between Rivers and the Chargers Brees started the following season and had a break out year.
Comeback
Drew's career with the Chargers was briefly put in jeopardy after San Diego acquired N.C. State'sPhilip Rivers. The Chargers selected Eli Manning with the first overall draft pick and just an hour later made a trade with the New York Giants in exchange for Philip Rivers, who they selected with the fourth overall pick. After the trade, it was almost certain Brees' days as the Chargers' starting QB were over. However, Rivers held out nearly all of training camp for big money. He eventually settled for pretty much what was offered prior to the opening of training camp. This forced the Chargers coaching staff to give Brees one last look and Drew persevered to remain the starter throughout the 2004 season and jump to near the top of the league's statisticalrankings. Brees held the third best rating in the NFL, at 104.8 (behind Peyton Manningand Daunte Culpepper) and posted the best single season record in Chargers history, easily breaking the previous record held by Dan Fouts. Brees was selected to the 2005NFL Pro Bowlas a reward for his impressive 2004 season. He was also named 2004 NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
Brees became a free agent after the 2004 season and was not entirely expected to return to San Diego, which had already committed a large sum of money to Rivers. However, the team eventually designated Brees as a franchise player, giving him a one-year contract that quadrupled his pay to $8 million for the 2005 season.
Under the terms of the "franchise player" contract, Brees was eligible to be traded, but the Chargers would have had to receive two future first round draft choices in return. Brees was not traded and continued to start the remainder of the 2005 season.
In the Halloween 2004 matchup versus the Raiders, he completed 22 out of 25 passes for 281 yards and 5 TDs in a 41-14 romp. He followed that excellent performance the next week versus the Saints, where he went 22 of 36 for 257 yards and 4 TD in a 43-17 triumph. He would finish the season with 3159 passing yards, 27 TD, and only 7 INT giving him a QB rating of 104.8. In the postseason, he unfortunately lost his first playoff game, however he threw for 319 yards and 2 TD with 1 INT on 31 of 42 passing.
Brees continued his excellent play in 2005, as he posted a career high in passing yards with 3576. Brees also posted the 10th best rating in the NFL at 89.2 That season he led the Chargers to a win over the New England Patriotsat New England, thus breaking a home-winning streak heldby the Patriots at Gillette Stadiumwhile posting a 137.5 rating resulting from 19 of 24 passing, 248 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT. Later that season, Drew led the Chargers to a 48-10 dismantling of a Buffalo defense ranked in the top 5 against the pass, ripping off 339 yards and 4 TDs on 28 of 33 passing. Brees battled through 3 turnovers (2 INT, 1 fumble) to throw a 54 yard pass that would set up a field goal which regained the lead in a crucial game against the previously undefeated Indianapolis Colts.
