By Josh Katzenstein
Drew Brees' performance in 2017 showed the value of efficiency over volume.
His 4,334 passing yards were his fewest in 12 years with the New Orleans Saints, and his 536 passing attempts were his second fewest.
Meanwhile, Brees set an NFL record by completing 72 percent of his passes, and he averaged 8.1 yards per attempt, his best mark since 2011.
With the Saints having significant success running the ball with Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara last season, Brees didn't have to throw the ball as much as he has in the past, and he's hoping that can be the case again in 2018.
