Drew Brees and his yardage record. (NFL)

For those of you who are watching the Monday night contest between the Redskins and Saints (it's halftime as I write this), history was just made a little while ago as Saints QB Drew Brees passed Peyton Manning to become the NFL's all-time leader in pass yardage.

For those of you that don't know, Drew Brees now sits third for passing yardage in all of professional football. Here are the top five names in the overall list.

1) Anthony Calvillo, 79,816
2) Damon Allen, 72,381
3) Drew Brees, 71,975
4) Peyton Manning, 71,940
5) Brett Favre, 71,838

It's entirely possible that Brees will eclipse Damon Allen's total this season, but would have to play for two more seasons to pass Anthony Calvillo and secure the all-time pro football yardage record. Drew Brees is a hell of a competitor, and I wish him all the best as he continues to populate the record books during his stellar career.
