NFL fans were not exactly convinced by the reveal of Drew Brees’ Pro Football Hall of Fame bust on Saturday.
Brees was among those inducted into the Hall of Fame in Canton on Saturday, meaning his bust was unveiled for the first time. The first impression of many was that the finished product did not look much like Brees.

Arguably, the bust looked even worse on television, and there were ample comments about how it looked.

Still convinced a Falcons fan was in charge of designing Brees' bust https://t.co/ahcHj7flHe

The bust simply does not have a lot of defining features. The former New Orleans Saints quarterback is arguably a tough subject for this sort of thing, but there is something indescribably odd about the way it looks.
The good news for Brees is that this is nowhere near the worst statue we have seen of an athlete. The Dwyane Wade statue commissioned by the Miami Heat seems to have that title locked down.
