In case you weren't already feeling old, New Orleans Saints legend Drew Brees and his family gave the world a reminder this week of just how precious time is.
Brees, who led the Saints to their first and only Super Bowl during the 2009 season, celebrated that incredibly achievement by lifting up his son Baylen as confetti rained down from Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. It was an iconic shot that fans in the Big Easy will never forget.
Since Brees is set to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this Saturday, he and the rest of the 2026 class were honored before Thursday night's Hall of Fame game.
NBC then interviewed Brees and his son Baylen, who is now 17 years old, during Thursday night's preseason game. Fans couldn't get over how quickly Brees' oldest son has aged.

"Time really flies like crazy," one fan said. "I feel so old."
"I am legitimately dead inside," a second fan commented.
"I think I’m ready to accept that I’m old," another fan wrote.
"How's this possible when 2010 was only like 8 years ago," another fan sarcastically replied.
Breezing to the Hall of Fame.
It's not a surprise that Brees was named a first-ballot Hall of Famer. The former All-Pro quarterback finished his career with 80,358 passing yards and 571 touchdowns.
And above all the stats and individual accolades, what truly made Brees special is that he gave the city and fan base in New Orleans hope when they needed it most.
The rest of the Hall of Fame's class of 2026 features running back Roger Craig, kicker Adam Vinatieri, linebacker Luke Kuechly and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald.
