Legendary New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has been named the official Ambassador of Sports (NFL), a prestigious role that recognizes his contributions to the game and his lasting impact on football. The announcement comes as the league continues to honor its greatest figures and promote the sport globally.
Brees, a Super Bowl champion and former NFL MVP, played 20 seasons in the league, with the majority of his career spent in New Orleans. He retired in 2021 as one of the most decorated quarterbacks in NFL history, holding numerous passing records and leading the Saints to their first and only Super Bowl victory in the 2009 season. His leadership on and off the field has made him an iconic figure in the sport.
As the NFL’s Ambassador of Sports, Brees will represent the league at international events, engage in youth football initiatives, and work with various organizations to promote the values of teamwork, perseverance, and excellence. His new role also includes involvement in community outreach programs, inspiring the next generation of players and fans.
“This game has given me so much, and I’m honored to continue being part of its growth,” Brees said in a statement. “Football brings people together, teaches valuable life lessons, and I’m excited to help share that message worldwide.”
Brees’ appointment comes at a time when the NFL is expanding its presence globally, with more international games and outreach efforts than ever before. His leadership and passion for the game make him the ideal representative to help the league reach new audiences.
For Saints fans and football lovers alike, Brees’ new role is another chapter in his storied career—one that continues to shape the game long after his playing days.
