"Why can't you be more like Drew Brees?" isn't just something dads say to their kids about their football skills. Plenty of moms are likely to admonish their kids with the same phrase when it comes to their manners.
The Saints' signal-caller tops the list of "Ten Best-Mannered People of 2018" from the National League of Junior Cotillions.
The organization cited Brees' "exemplary conduct both on and off the field and outstanding contributions to families in need through the Brees Dream Foundation."
"The selections are made based on each person’s commitment to honor, dignity, and mannerly conduct," says NLJC President Charles Winters. "We feel these ten individuals have distinguished themselves through excellence of character and conduct and applaud them for their contributions to society."
