Who else was going to top this list?

Drew Brees was one of the most dominant passers of his era, a savant who didn't let a lack of size (6'0", 209 lbs.) hinder him. He held multiple career records at the time of his retirement; and while Tom Brady has since surpassed most of them, he still has the highest single-season completion percentage (74.4% in 2018, at 39 years of age), most consecutive games with at least one passing touchdown (54), and most 5,000-yard seasons (five).

He also had a very endearing character, being the New Orleans Saints' messiah after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina - a distinction that was solidified when he led them to victory in Super Bowl XLIV and was adjudged its MVP.
