Drew Brees is the quarterback of the New Orleans Saints and the MVP of Super Bowl XLIV. He’s generally regarded as one of the best to ever play his position and is a beloved figure in the city of New Orleans, where he’s commonly referred to as “Breesus Christ,” both for his exploits on the field and off. His charity, the Brees Dream Foundation, has raised millions over the years to help the city’s citizens and he’s currently teaming with Best Buy and Samsung to do even more. Learn more about those efforts here.
