Here’s Why Drew Brees Finally Retired From The NFL

Saints QB Drew Brees has finally called it a career. Brees walks away from the NFL as the career leader in passing yards and completions, with one Super Bowl victory under his belt. Not bad for a 5’11 guy from Purdue.

Drew’s legendary career was the result of going to a system that was built around his strengths. Part of becoming a sports legend is knowing what situation to go to, and not leaving a situation that is good for you. Drew certainly did that and got the most out of his career.

Now what will the Saints do at QB? There is Taysom Hill on the roster making 8 figures for some unknown reason, and former number one overall pick Jameis Winston who didn’t do much for the team behind Brees and Hill last year. If I was putting money on it, I’d guess Hill is going to be your Saints QB in 2021.

Hat’s off to Drew Brees for a long successful career.
