The decision, of course, is no surprise. Brees is the most accomplished QB in team history, and he was one of the most statistically-impressive QB of his generation. His name belongs in the conversation as a top ten quarterback in NFL history.
Brees is tied with seven other players for most passing TDs in a game (7), as well as the most 5,000-yard passing seasons (5) and most consecutive games with a TD pass (54).
He is also second all-time in single-season passing yards with 5,476 and career passing yards with 80,358.
No date has been announced for Brees' induction ceremony.
Brees will be eligible for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame beginning in 2026.
