Travis and Jason Kelce reappear after the Super Bowl with a major announcement

The Kelce brothers’ New Heights show has gained attention since 2022 by blending football insight with humor and personality, keeping them relevant even during the NFL offseason when games are not on the schedule.

On Tuesday, February 10 they revealed the next episode will feature Super Bowl-winning quarterback Drew Brees, whose career accomplishments make him a perfect fit for the brothers’ show, promising both insight and entertainment.

“Our guest today is a former walk-on quarterback from Purdue,” Jason Kelce began. “He’s a five-time All-Pro, 13-time Pro Bowler, two-time NFL Offensive Player of the Year, NFL Comeback Player of the Year…

“Second-most passing yards in NFL history, Super Bowl champion, Super Bowl MVP, and also now officially a first-ballot Hall of Famer. From Canton, Ohio-please welcome Drew Brees!”

The introduction was so well-received that Brees requested a celebratory toast, a nod to both the excitement of the moment and the respect between the host and guest, highlighting the episode’s special significance.

Brees’ announcement as part of the Hall of Fame Class of 2026 cements his legacy. He will join running back Roger Craig, wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, linebacker Luke Kuechly, and kicker Adam Vinatieri in one of the most prestigious enshrinements in recent history.

How good was Drew Brees?

Drew Brees began at Purdue as a walk-on, quickly becoming a standout for his accuracy and leadership. He finished his college career with 12,693 passing yards, 90 touchdowns, and a school-record 11,792 yards in his final two seasons combined.

Drafted in the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers, Brees overcame early challenges, including shared playing time and injuries, before becoming a consistent starter known for pinpoint accuracy and field vision.

Joining the New Orleans Saints in 2006, Brees turned the franchise around. Over 20 NFL seasons, he completed 7,142 passes on 10,551 attempts for 85,700 yards, threw 571 touchdowns, and maintained a career passer rating of 97.7.

Brees’ honors include 13 Pro Bowl selections, five First-Team All-Pro awards, two-time NFL Offensive Player of the Year, Super Bowl XLIV champion, and Super Bowl MVP. He also led the league in passing yards seven times.

He retired as the all-time leader in completions, career passing yards, and fourth in passing touchdowns, and he ranks among the most efficient quarterbacks in history, reshaping how precision passing defines NFL success.

Brees’ legacy extends beyond stats. He revived the Saints post-Katrina, mentored young quarterbacks, and became a model for consistency, leadership, and resilience, leaving an indelible mark on both the team and the league.

As Jason emphasized, Brees is a first-ballot Hall of Famer, meaning he will be enshrined in his first year of eligibility, reflecting the league-wide recognition of his achievements and enduring impact on the sport.
