Drew Brees was born June 15th 1975, and he is my hero. Drew Brees is my hero because he shows courage when he is on and off the field. Drew Brees does many charity activities and created the Brees Dream foundation. He holds 30 NFL Records, and 24 college and NFL awards. Drew Brees also has traits that make him a hero, such as being generous, confident and caring. He donates his time and he is inspiring.

Drew Brees is one of the best NFL players; he plays his best no matter whom he is playing for. Even after he was traded to the New Orleans Saints in 2006 he carried over the same talent that he played with when he was on the San Diego Chargers. Drew Brees dedicates his time to his community by mentoring in programs for children and helping New Orleans to recover after Hurricane Katrina hit. Drew was inspired to lead his team to the Super Bowl in 2010 for the first time in the New Orleans Saints franchise history.

Drew Brees has made a difference in my life, because I like the Saints and he was confident and wanted to win a Super bowl for the Saints in 2010. Drew Brees made a difference in other people's lives by helping New Orleans recover. He has made a difference in the world by holding different football clinics for different kids across the world to teach them football skills.

Drew Brees has and is continuing to show that he is a true hero on and off the football field. He leads every football team he plays for, mentoring kids and helps his community every day.
