Saints quarterback Drew Brees capped off a record-setting season by winning the FedEx Air Player of the Year Award on Wednesday at Super Bowl XLVI. Brees beat out Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers and New England's Tom Brady for the honor, which is based on fan voting. It's the fourth time Brees has won the award since its inception in 2003, he also was honored in 2006, 2008 and 2009. Brees did not attend the award presentation but said in a recorded acceptance speech that he was especially gratified to win considering the great seasons Brady and Rodgers enjoyed this season. Saints left tackle Jermon Bushrod accepted the award on Brees' behalf. I'm truly honored and blessed to have played with (Brees) for the last five years," Bushrod said. "If you saw him work out in the offseason, you would think the Super Bowl was the next day. He's the most focused individual I've ever played with."
