Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints): A

The Saints are 3-1 already this season, and they won a game in which Brees completed just over 56 percent of his passes.

He has eight touchdowns and no interceptions in four games completing 75.8 percent of his passes. Brees is playing out of his mind most of the time and is really elevating the Saints.

He’s got a true number one receiver and maybe the best receiver in the NFL right now in Michael Thomas. He’s got a dynamic pass-catching running back in Alvin Kamara.

The Saints have really allowed those three players to contorl the flow of the offense so far and they will soon get Mark Ingram back from suspension.

Brees is just maddeningly efficient. He doesn’t make many mistakes, if any. He was thrown off his game against the Giants and the Saints still scored 33.

It looks like New Orleans will be a very tough out all season and Brees is the major reason why. He takes this team to a different level.
