My Little Investigation into Drew Brees’ Hair
So, I was kicking back the other day, flipping through channels, maybe watching some sports highlights, you know how it is. And Drew Brees comes on screen. Great player, watched him for years with the Saints.

But something caught my eye this time. His hair. It just looked… different. Fuller, maybe? Especially around the front. I remembered him having, you know, a regular guy’s hairline, maybe a bit receded like lots of guys his age.
It got me curious. So, I did what most folks do these days. I grabbed my phone and started searching. Typed in stuff like “Drew Brees hair” or “Drew Brees new hair”.
Comparing the evidence
I started pulling up pictures.
- Found some older ones from his playing days. Yeah, definitely looked a bit thinner up top back then.
- Then I looked at more recent photos and videos, like him doing broadcasting or in commercials.
- Side-by-side, man, it looked like a noticeable change. The hairline seemed lower, denser.
Then I stumbled onto all the online talk. Forums, comments sections, people asking the same thing: “Is that a toupee?” or “Did Drew Brees get hair plugs or something?” Lots of speculation going around.
Saw one particular clip, I think it was some promotional thing he did. And yeah, watching it closely, the hair looked incredibly uniform. Almost too perfect, if you know what I mean. Didn’t move quite like natural hair sometimes does, especially under bright lights.
My Conclusion?
Look, I’m just a guy observing things. I’m not flying out to inspect his scalp or anything. But based on just looking at the old pictures, the new pictures, the videos, and seeing all the chatter from other people who noticed the same thing… well, it definitely seems like something is different up there.

Whether it’s a really good toupee, a hair system, maybe even transplants, I can’t say for sure. But going from what I remembered seeing on the field for years to what I see now, there’s been a clear change. That was my little journey down the rabbit hole of Drew Brees’s hair. Just sharing what I saw and found!
