BLOG #9

            In class I said Drew Brees is a good example of someone who is a hero. I’m going to stand by that. Drew is a person that I’d be willing to follow and I can say that I would truly trust him. I think that he is genuinely a good person.
            As a Saints fan it’s really easy to call Drew a hero for several obvious reasons. We all know he won a Super Bowl and is one of the games top quarterbacks but it’s the things off the field that lead me to believe he is a hero. Drew takes on adversity and it brings out the best in him. He has every reason in the world to be arrogant yet he is extremely humble.
            His dedication and passion is what would get me to follow him. It’s a hard thing to think of just dropping everything and putting all your trust in someone. If he asked me to go with him, I think that I would be so honored that he asked me that I would have to go.
            Drew’s passion is contagious. I think that is his best quality. He has the ability to motivate people. That’s the most important thing for someone who wants to be followed. They have to be able to really speak to his/her people.
            Today its hard to point out a person who doesn’t have any flaws. Everyone has their weak points but in Drew’s case, those weak points are hard to find. Especially being in the limelight like him, you’d think we’d know something unflattering about him. His reputation is squeaky clean. I think he is a great role model and someone I can look up to.
            Its very doubtful Drew will ever ask me to follow him, but if I strive to be a better person because of him, then that makes all the difference. Drew makes the world a better place by just being himself.
