Drew Brees -- Surprises Special Needs Kid ... Is Best Guy Ever (VIDEO)

Try not to cry ... we dare you.

Drew Brees continues to show what a sensational human being he is ... this time surprising a special needs kid in Shreveport, Louisiana ... and totally bringing the brave little tyke to tears.

Brees was in town for a speaking engagement when he stopped into Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar -- a restaurant he co-owns -- and was told there was a huge Saints fan in the building.

The fan -- 10-year-old Hunter Glass -- is battling cerebral palsy and was completely overcome with emotion when he came face-to-face with his idol ... you gotta see it.

We told you you'd cry.
