Without the exquisite handiwork of Dr. James Andrews, the top surgeon in sports, Drew Brees couldn't have won the Super Bowl. In fact, he couldn't have come back and played at all.
At the end of last night'sSuper Bowl, CBS announcer Jim Nantz tried to convey the improbability of New Orleans' win over Indianapolis. Naturally, he mentioned the medical marvel thatis Saints quarterback Drew Brees' shoulder.
A few years ago whileplaying for San Diego, Brees reached for a fumble while sprawled on the field,and a defensive lineman landed like a crushing boulder on his exposed arm. Inthat gruesome instant, Brees had nearly torn the rotator cuff in his throwingarm in two. Everyone assumed hiscareer was over. Except for a certain orthopedic surgeon watching inBirmingham, Alabama.
Dr. James Andrews, widelyconsidered the premiere surgeon in sports, used 12 anchors, the most he'd everused, to reattach the tissue in Brees' shoulder. San Diego, unconvinced itwould work, released the quarterback. The Miami Dolphins passed on him as well.But the Saints believed Andrews when he assured them months later that Breeshad had a full recovery.
"Doc saved my career," Brees told me when I profiled Andrews in Fast Company. "What he was able to dowith my shoulder was truly amazing. Ithought for sure the injury was one of the worst things I could go through. Butnow I think it was one of the best things that ever happened to me, because ofthe commitment and work and dedication it took to come back."
Andrews repairs so manyathletes that you could field an impressive fantasy league made up of hispatients. In fact, on his way to a Super Bowl championship, Brees beat two ofthem, Brett Favre (bicep surgery prior to last season) and Peyton Manning (kneesurgery in college).
"He's got something specialgoing on down there," Brees said, speaking of Andrews, whose star patients havewon more than 20 Super Bowls, World Series, and NBA Championships between them.
The same can be said ofBrees, who tied a Super Bowl record for completions while leading the Saints tothe franchise's first championship. For a city still rebuilding four and a halfyears after being crushed by Katrina, it was something undeniably special.
