Drew Brees: Wiki, Biography, Stats, Net Worth, Injury, Cheek Mark & More Info

Brees broke Marino’s single-season passing yardage record in 2011, finishing with 5,476 yards through the air. (In 2013, Peyton Manning surpassed Brees’ record by one yard.) He also broke his own league completion percentage record (71.2), set an all-time NFL record by passing for more than 300 yards in 13 games, and threw a personal-best 46 touchdown passes.

In 2012, he broke Johnny Unitas’ record for most consecutive games with a touchdown pass when he scored in his 48th consecutive game (his record eventually reached 54 games), and he finished the year with 5,177 passing yards and a league-high 43 touchdowns.

Wikipedia & Biography

Brees, Drew Christopher is a retired American football quarterback who spent 20 seasons in the National Football League (NFL). Brees has spent most of his career with the New Orleans Saints, and he leads the NFL in career pass completions and completion %, as well as being second in career touchdown passes, regular-season passing yards, and career pass attempts. He also holds the record for most straight games with a touchdown pass, which he set 52 years ago with Johnny Unitas.

Brees attended Purdue University and set Big Ten Conference records for completions, attempts, and yards. Despite his collegiate accomplishments, he was not taken until the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers due to concerns about his height and arm strength.

Brees struggled at first until breaking out in 2004, winning him Pro Bowl and Comeback Player of the Year honors. Brees was re-signed to a one-year contract the following season, but suffered a potentially career-ending injury, prompting the Chargers to release him in free agency.

When he joined the Saints, he brought new success to a team that had only had seven winning seasons, five playoff berths, and one postseason win in the previous 39 years. He led the Saints to nine playoff visits, seven division titles (including four in a row from 2017 to 2020), three NFC Championship Game appearances, and the franchise’s first Super Bowl title in Super Bowl XLIV between 2006 and 2020.

Brees was named to his 13th Pro Bowl and twice voted Offensive Player of the Year at the end of his 15-year career in New Orleans. He also set NFL records for passing yards (seven times) and passing touchdowns (four times).

He was awarded MVP of Super Bowl XLIV and finished second in voting for the 2018 NFL season’s Most Valuable Player award. After retiring after the 2020 season, Brees became an analyst for NBC Sunday Night Football and Notre Dame Football on NBC.

Parents: Father, Mother & Background

Brees’ father and mother were both athletes. His father was a member of the Texas A&M men’s basketball team, and his mother was a three-sport all-state performer in high school.

His maternal uncle, Marty Akins, was an All-American starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns college football team from 1972 to 1975, and his maternal grandfather, Ray Akins, coached Gregory-Portland High School for three decades and had the third-most victories as a Texas high school football coach.

Reid, his younger brother, was an outfielder for the Baylor Bears baseball team, which reached the College World Series in 2005; Reid now works in sales in Colorado.

In the Battle of Okinawa, his grandfather fought. According to a Sports Illustrated article, he was named after Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Drew Pearson, although Brees acknowledged this story was “just folklore” in a 2014 interview.

Reid is his younger brother. Brees’ parents divorced when he was seven years old, and the boys were split up between both parents’ homes. Brees now confesses that life following the divorce was difficult and demanding; but, he and his younger brother, Reid, supported each other and grew close.

Audrey, their younger half-sister, is the result of their father’s remarriage to Amy Hightower, the daughter of the late United States Representative (D-TX) Jack English Hightower.

Brees did not play tackle football until high school when he was a member of the flag football team at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, where he was teammates with actor Ben McKenzie, who was in the same year as him. He was a varsity letterman in baseball, basketball, and football in high school, and he was thinking of playing college baseball rather than football.

After Brees blew out his knee in 11th grade, college recruiters rushed in. He was named Texas High School 5A Most Valuable Offensive Player in 1996 after overcoming an ACL tear and leading the Austin Westlake High School football team to a 16–0 record and a state championship.

College & Career Stats

He played against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8 on November 4, 2001, after being selected by the San Diego Chargers with the first selection of the second round (32nd overall) in the 2001 NFL Draft.

Wife, Children & Family Details

Brees married Brittany Dudchenko, his college love, in February 2003. The couple has four children: three males born in January 2009, October 2010, and August 2012, as well as a daughter born in August 2014.

Source: Page Six

Brees relocated to New Orleans shortly after Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc. He confesses that moving to a city that was still in devastation after the hurricane was difficult; yet, he and Brittany fell in love with the city’s culture and “spirit” right away.

They bought a house in Uptown New Orleans and refurbished it, and they still live there. Brees acknowledges in an interview that he believes his family is now complete, especially since the couple’s dream was to have three boys and one girl.

All four children were born and are being raised in New Orleans. Faith, family, football, and philanthropy are Brees’ four goals in life, which he refers to as the “four F’s.” Brees lives in San Diego during the offseason.

Brees is a devout follower of Jesus Christ. Brees was reared as a Christian but said he became devoted at the age of 17 while in church with a ruptured ACL and wondering who he was and what he was supposed to do with his life.

Brees later endured further difficulties, including injuring his shoulder in 2005, but he claims that these losses only increased his faith. When he was younger, a birthmark on the right side of his face caused him to be bullied.

Mina Brees, Brees’ mother, died of a prescription drug overdose on August 7, 2009, at the age of 59. Suicide was determined to be the cause of death. Brees was excused from training camp for a “family concern” for a short time.

Brees described their relationship as “nonexistent” in 2006, claiming that he refused to hire his mother as his agent when he entered the NFL because she undercut his dealings with other agents and tried to sell a book about him to Sports Illustrated without his knowledge, and later that year he told her to stop using his picture in TV commercials during her campaign for the Texas 3rd Court of Appeals.

Net Worth, Career Earnings, Endorsements & Businesses Owned

Instead of signing a six-year contract with the New Orleans Saints in 2006 for $60 million-plus bonuses, the number 9 quarterback reportedly left the San Diego Chargers in 2005 after being dissatisfied with the deal he was offered following his injury.

Net Worth

Drew Brees has an estimated net worth of $160 million as of 2021, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The player is the 22nd richest athlete in the world, thanks to his sport and a slew of endorsements.

Brees signed an $8 million one-year contract with the San Diego Chargers during his debut NFL season in 2005. However, he quit the squad after suffering an injury and failing to secure a lucrative contract.

Businesses Owned By Drew Brees

Brees owns a number of different restaurants. In May 2015, he bought a 25% ownership in “Walk-Bistreaux On’s & Bar,” a Baton Rouge-based sports bar that is now extending its franchise into other Gulf Coast states.

In Midland, Texas, he opened a Walk-restaurant On’s in 2019. Brees expressed interest in bringing some of the skills he had gained as a Jimmy John’s franchise owner to Walk-during On’s initial discussions.

As of August 2019, he owns nine Jimmy John’s shops, with a tenth under construction. Jimmy John’s head of operations, Carl Buergler, played football with Brees at Purdue.

Endorsements 

Drew Brees is well-known not only for being one of the best starting quarterbacks in the NFL but also for his numerous endorsements. In 2010, Brees was named the national spokesperson for AdvoCare International, a marketing firm that specializes in weight-loss products and nutritional supplements.

Later that year, then-President Barack Obama named Brees as co-chair of the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition. Dominique Dawes, an ex-Olympic gymnast, and he shared the title. Brees, who was bullied in high school, had an appearance in the anti-bullying video “It Gets Better” in October 2010.  

Brees has endorsement deals with multibillion-dollar companies like Nike, Microsoft, PepsiCo, Proctor & Gamble (for the Nyquil and Dayquil brands), Verizon, and Wrangler. In 2018, he made an estimated $13 million from endorsements. Every sponsored tweet is said to bring in over $13,000 for the star athlete.  

What’s on Drew Brees Right Cheek

Drew Brees appears to have a scar on the upper half of his right cheek. That isn’t the case, though.

Brees has had that birthmark since the day he was born. Growing up, the Saints quarterback was bullied because of his birthmark, but he’s come to accept it as a part of himself over time.

Brees, who has been in the NFL since 2001 and holds the league’s all-time throwing yards record, seemed to have been unaffected by any unfavorable comments.

Brees hasn’t said much about his birthmark throughout the years, but here’s what he has said.

Brees’ birthmark, rather than a scar, is visible on his face. Brees’ birthmark attracted him as he grew up.

“When I was a youngster, I got all kinds of comments about ‘Wipe that thing off your face,’ because of my birthmark, which I was obviously born with,” Brees told CNN in 2012. “… a plethora of names. People would refer to me as ‘Spot.’ I believe they were attempting to be nefarious. They were attempting to cause harm.”

Brees began to recognize that, as a college standout at Purdue and then a starting NFL quarterback for the Chargers and Saints, he could speak out and make a difference because of his previous experience.

“Making a joke about someone who is different from you? That isn’t being harsh; it is being oblivious “In 2010, Brees stated. “I want my fans to know that if you make fun of someone, you’re not one of my friends.”

Some Saints fans have even attended games with stickers or temporary tattoos on their right cheeks to demonstrate their support for Brees in recent years.

Brees considered having his birthmark removed while writing his book, “Coming Back Stronger.” He claims that his birthmark is as much a part of him as his world-record-breaking right arm.

“Instead of seeing it as a flaw, I chose to see it as a feature that distinguished me,” Brees wrote. “It set me out from the crowd…. It’s now simply a part of who I am. I would never consider amputating my arm. I wouldn’t chop off my birthmark, either.”

The video captures Morant and Reese enjoying each other’s company, laughing, and dancing to the tunes of “Fresh Prince of Utah” by NBA Young Boy. The context of their interaction in the locker room, where they’ve previously performed the same song, adds an intriguing layer to the story. It’s worth noting that Reese had denied dating NBA Young Boy in March.

Reese later posted an updated version of the video on Twitter, incorporating Saweetie’s “ICY GRL” and the caption, “10 white toes in my Tory flip flops.” Another TikTok video she shared earlier featured the rapper with the caption “Love my girl.” Reese’s extensive celebrity contacts include rapper Future and “Uncle” Shaquille O’Neal.

Despite the video sparking curiosity about the nature of Morant and Reese’s relationship, there’s no conclusive evidence of a serious romantic involvement. Recent public appearances together are lacking, leading fans to share light-hearted jokes about the unexpected collaboration. This speculation comes on the heels of Morant’s earlier season off-court actions, resulting in an eight-game suspension.
