Drew Brees
Power 100 rank: 7
Rank last year: 25
Sport: NFL/New Orleans Saints—QB
Age: 32
Most recent notable achievement: Won Super Bowl XLIV
Earnings: $17 million
Key sponsors: Nike, Visa
Why he's on the list: Drew Brees's Saints won the most recent Super Bowl, where he was named most valuable player. He appeared on everything from Oprah to Letterman and warmed America's hearts when he hoisted his one-year-old son along with the trophy. Although the Saints were shocked by the Seahawks in the 2011 playoffs, Brees logged more than 400 yards in the game, so we'll blame that one on the defense.
