Our own Drew Brees, my hetero man crush and the greatest thing to happen to Purdue football in 50 years, is about to throw for 5,000 yards for the fifth time in his NFL career.
It will be only the ninth 5,000 yard season in NFL history.
When you think about that, it is absurd. Even in this era of high flying passing offenses (eight of the nine 5,000 yard passing seasons have happened since 2008) Brees has been remarkably consistent. He has broken the old record, which was held by Dan Marino for 29 years, three times already and will likely pass that 1984 season a fourth time this coming Sunday.
