Drew Brees AP Offensive Player Of The Year
On a team with only an 8-8 record Drew Brees was setting all kinds of records and almost passed Dan Marino’s record of 5, 084 yards, but fell 15 yards short of that record. Brees ended up with 5,069 yards passing and 34 touchdowns. Brees did this on a team that struggled and some of the weapons that Brees was suppose to have were hurt part of the time. The one thing about Drew Brees you never heard him complain about the injuries he just competed ever week and his stats showed that. I cannot imagine how bad the record the Saints would have if he did not play. Below is others who got votes also.
| Drew Brees, Saints | 22 |
| Peyton Manning, Colts | 9 |
| DeAngelo Williams, Panthers | 2 |
| Steve Smith, Panthers | 1 |
