Drew played fourteen seasons in the NFL. He is best known as the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots from 1993 to 2001. He also played for the Buffalo Bills and the Dallas Cowboys. During the 1990s, he was considered the face of the Patriots franchise. He was the first overall pick in 1993 NFL Draft, and helped improve the fortunes of the Patriots, who had fallen on hard times. Under his tenure as starting quarterback, the Patriots ended an eight-season postseason drought, qualified for the playoffs six times, and made one Super Bowl appearance. In his second season with the team, he was named to the 1995 Pro Bowl and was the youngest quarterback to appear in the NFL’s all-star game at the time. He was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame in 2011.

Drew is now pursuing a longtime aspiration that allows him to combine his passion for fine wine and love of the Walla Walla Valley through his winery, Doubleback, located in Walla Walla, Washington.
