4. Drew Brees

Last year: No. 2

Brees and the Saints suffered another stunning early playoff exit this past year. That doesn’t take anything away from Brees’ performance in the 11 regular season games he played, though. Once again, Brees led the NFL with a ludicrous 74.3% completion rate and he only threw four interceptions in 281 pass attempts. History says he won’t be able to do this much longer. For now, Brees is still one of the top passers in the sport. He says he will return in 2020, so the Panthers will have to deal with him at least one more year.
