Biography

Peyton Manning, the only five-time Most Valuable Player in NFL history (2003-04, '08-09, '13), played 18 seasons with Indianapolis (1998-2011) and Denver (2012-15). He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Broncos Ring of Fame in 2021. A member of the 2000s NFL All-Decade Team and the NFL 100th Anniversary All-time Team, Manning was chosen to the Associated Press All-Pro team 10 times (7x first team; 3x second team) and selected to the Pro Bowl 14 times. He was also twice named the NFL Offensive Player of the Year (2004, '13) as well as Super Bowl XLI MVP. In Manning's four seasons in Denver, he helped the Broncos to the most wins (55) and highest winning percentage (.764) of any team in the NFL while capturing four AFC West Division titles, two AFC Championships and a victory in Super Bowl 50 following his final professional season in 2015. No player threw more touchdowns (151) in the regular season/playoffs combined from 2012-2015 than Manning, who ranked third in the league in overall passer rating (99.6) as well as fourth in both overall passing yards (19,062) and completions (1,639) during that period. In 2013, he posted the most prolific season of any quarterback in NFL history en route to earning his fifth MVP award. Manning, who helped the Broncos to their first Super Bowl appearance in 15 years that season, set NFL single-season records for touchdown passes (55) and passing yards (5,477) while leading the highest-scoring offense (606 pts., 37.9 PPG) in NFL history. His first season with the Broncos in 2012 saw him earn the Associated Press' Comeback Player of the Year award for his remarkable return to the field from a neck injury that forced him to miss the 2011 season. Manning, who received permission from Frank Tripucka's family to wear No. 18, is recognized inside Empower Field at Mile High as one of the club's retired numbers. The number one pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, Manning is also a member of the College Football Hall of Fame Class of 2017 for his distinguished career at the University of Tennessee.
