The wait is finally over. New Orleans Saints’ legend Drew Brees has officially been named a member of the NFL’s Hall of Fame. While the news was not surprising, it is a reminder of just how great Drew Brees was. 

The first-ballot Hall of Famer was more than just a legendary quarterback, he was a top-notch leader on and off the field. Former teammate Chase Daniel said of Brees, “Drew treated everyone the same—from the backup to the janitor. Never acted above anyone. Made people feel valued. And he loved the grind.”
