Brees overcame the stereotype of being a diminutive quarterback, standing purportedly 6 feet tall but closer to 5-11, and paved the way for the NFL to take chances on players who did not have the usual stature, such as Peyton Manning.

In the NFL, there are some quarterbacks that are approximately 6 feet tall and have had lengthy, successful careers. Baker Mayfield recently saw a career comeback in Tampa Bay, while Bryce Young was taken first overall, as was Caleb Williams, all of whom are closer in stature to Drew Brees.

Congratulations, Drew!
