Damn, that speech hit right in the soul. Manning didn’t just sound like a former star quarterback. He sounded like a man ready to lead the NFL.
He sounded like a man ready to lead the sport of football wearing a suit and tie instead of pads.
A Hall of Fame tribute to a Hall of Fame player.
Congratulations, Peyton. #PFHOF21 pic.twitter.com/8vlrNxPtkr

I don’t know what the future holds for the former Colts and Broncos passer, but I know that he will continue to be a visible face in the world of football.
That’s a good thing because we need all the pro-football people possible speaking up. Some individuals want to take this game away from us.
We can’t let that happen and Manning using his platform to preach about the importance of the sport is something we should all support.
Another classic Manning-Brady moment.@TomBrady
