What can you say about an eight-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl MVP? A lot.

Brees has ranked in the top three in the league in terms of total passing yards every season since 2010, and he’s thrown for more than 5,000 yards the last three seasons in a row.

Brees’ current career passer rating (95.3) is higher than NFL greats like Dan Marino, Joe Montana, and Roger Staubach, and it’d be difficult to find someone who doesn’t think the 35-year-old is a no-doubt Hall of Famer.

At 35, Brees already ranks 5th in all-time passing yards (51,081), and with a few seasons still left under his belt, he’ll undoubtedly move up to third, passing John Elway and Dan Marino before his career comes to a close.
