Drew Brees was born January 15, 1979 in Austin,Texas.He excelled in every sport he played, but football was
his calling. He attended Westlake High School in Austin, Texas where he graduated and was then recruited by Joe Tiller
the head coach of Purdue University. Coach Tiller introduced him as the new hot quarterback with the John Elway arm. The
fans thought otherwise when they looked at this barely 6' skinny kid. He would later prove them wrong and became a leader of the
Boilermaker team and became a well reknown quarterback throughout the league. In 2001 he was selected by the Sandiego Charges as the
32nd overall pick in the 2nd round.He resided in Sandiego for three years until a shoulder injury that put him into free agent. Most
teams in the league overlooked him because of the injury, but head coach Shaun Payton the New Orleans Saints took a gamble and signed
him. This gamble turned out to be an amazing story to come. For the past four years he has been nothing less but a jackpot for the
Saints. In the 2009-2010 season he lead the Saints to A SuperBowl where he was named the MVP in their 37-17 victory over the Colts.
