That's not really true. Brees had a great college career. He only fell to the 1st pick in the 2nd round because of his height and the fact that he played in an essentially Run N' Shoot offense in college under Joe Tiller.
He also fell because his "Super Power" was accuracy which is always very underrated as far as QB skills go. Which is interesting because there is a guy in this draft whose Super Power is accuracy, but nobody wants to take him in the 1st round.
