Drew, I wanted to take a minute to congratulate you on tying my father’s record for most consecutive games with a touchdown pass. I’ve been follow your pursuit of the record since last season. I’m a big fan of yours, and wish you the best Sunday night against San Diego as you try to break the record. My father always said that records were meant to be broken. I know that if he was still with us that he would wish you the best as well. When I look back on my father’s life I remember a man who was much bigger than the game of football. The things he would appreciate most about you have nothing to do with football; it’s about who you are as a person. You’re a role model for today’s youth, a family man, and a humanitarian who cares for his community. My father would tell you these are the important things in life, not some record in a book. Continue to be a leader for your team and the City of New Orleans. You’re a great quarterback but even better man. Stay healthy and safe this week and in the future. My family and I will be watching Sunday night cheering for you. Best of luck. Sincerely, Joe Unitas www.unitaswestand.com

That's pretty damn awesome. A ridiculous amount of Props to both Brees & the Unitas Family.

I've always said Unitas was the GOAT.

just pure class all around this event. But the way this year has gone since 9ers loss Drew will probably g0 19-43 for 174 yards no TDs and 2 picks.

Unitas is a god.
My buddy was a really good hockey player as a kid, and in a game, he absolutely blew up this poor kid. It turned out it was one of Unitas' kids and after the game, Unitas came into the locker room to seek my buddy out and complimented him on his play and the check. It was literally like God himself stepped down from heaven to bless him.
Unitas has always been all class.
