Drew Brees describes his arrival in New Orleans as "a calling." Following a catastrophic shoulder injury and a handful of years with the San Diego Chargers, Brees hit the ground running with the Saints, leading the team to the playoffs in his very first season and building toward the ultimate prize: the franchise's first ever Super Bowl title.

By the time he hung up his cleats in 2021, the Saints QB had won 172 games as a starting quarterback, led the NFL in passing yards seven times, and fashioned more than 50 game-winning drives. He won the 2004 Comeback Player of the Year award and was named to 13 Pro Bowls.

These moments and memories are collected in Drew Brees: A Tribute to the Saint of New Orleans, a fully illustrated gift book commemorating the 20-year career of one of the most beloved Saints players in history.

Featuring more than 100 photographs and unparalleled written coverage from the pages of Sports Illustrated(TM), this new volume provides readers a complete portrait of the ultimate team player whose impact on the Saints franchise cannot be overstated--from his earliest days in New Orleans to the euphoria of Super Bowl XLIV and beyond.

This commemorative book also features SI's best written coverage of Brees's career, including pieces by Tim Layden, Greg Bishop, and more.
