Drew Brees on Instagram: “After 20 years as a player in the NFL and 15 years as a Saint, it is time I retire from the game of football. Each day, I poured my heart &…”

He's tortured me for the past 15 years.

But as a short dude he's a trailblazer for us fellow short dudes that we can make it to the NFL. Granted I'm 5'7" Indian American dude and with the prejudice in the sporting world against Asian American athletes I probably wouldn't even have seen the field as a QB. But hey times are changing and Russell Wilson is a pretty Indian looking dude anyways. Drew and Mike Vick and Doug Flutie really were trail blazer and with Drew winning the Superbowl I think that definitely opened the window for us short dudes to be seriously looked at. Thanks to Drew we saw an uptick on short QBs starting in the NFL: Johnny Maziel, Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray. I get Johnny didn't make it due to substance issues but the fact that he was so highly looked at is thanks to Drew
