Drew Brees had the most spectacular season ever! This feat has moved him way up on the power chart!

According to Business Week  Drew Brees earned the No. 1 spot in the  Power 100, a list of the world’s most “powerful” athletes. CSE, an integrated sports and marketing firm in Atlanta, evaluated 600 athletes based on “statistics, the popularity and viewing audience of their sports, endorsement earnings, and their reach on social media.” Brees had the best season of his career statistically, passing for an all-time record 5,476 yards. He surpassed 300 in 13 of his 16 games, also a record, and completed 71.2% of his passes. Last year’s No. 1 pick, Peyton Manning, fell to No. 51 on this year’s list. Other notable drop-offs included Phil Mickelson, who fell from No. 4 to No. 18, and Lance Armstrong, who went from No. 8 to off the list entirely. The Top 20 on the list:
