Peyton Manning

Recognized as among the greatest quarterbacks of all time, Peyton Manning helped the Indianapolis Colts win a championship title in Super Bowl XL, the franchise’s first in over three decades, for which he was named Super Bowl MVP.In his high school years, Manning attended the Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, Louisiana. While playing for the school, he led the Greenies football team to a 34-5 record during his three seasons as the starter. In 1993, he was awarded the Gatorade Circle of Champions National Player of the Year and Columbus (Ohio) Touchdown Club National Offensive Player of the Year.

After graduating, he attended the University of Tennessee Volunteers and played under Coach Philip Fulmer. In the 1998 NFL Draft, Manning was the first overall pick of the Indianapolis Colts—credit to his astonishing talent. Since then, Manning had established a phenomenal career in American football, winning championships, awards, and recognitions. Manning officially retired in 2016. Following his retirement from the sport, he went on to make commercials and stayed active in sports, just not football.
