Summary
Peyton Manning was destined to play quarterback in the National Football League. After all, his father was Archie Manning, a two-time Pro Bowl quarterback for the New Orleans Saints in the 1970s. From an early age, Peyton's life revolved around football, and he benefited from his father's tutelage. By his senior year of high school, he was being recruited by the top college football teams in the United States. Eventually, he chose the University of Tennessee, where he became an All-American. In 1998, the Indianapolis Colts selected him as the number-one overall pick in the NFL draft. Since then, Manning has established himself as one of the league's all-time greats. He has been selected to eight Pro Bowl teams and has set several NFL records. In 2006, he led the Colts to the franchise's first Super Bowl victory since 1970. Manning is also an all-pro off the field. In 2005, he was named the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award winner for his outstanding work in the community and on the playing field. Through his charitable organization, the PeyBack Foundation, he has helped raise millions of dollars for disadvantaged children.
