Peyton Manning is the blueprint for being a high-caliber quarterback at the highest level. His precision, poise, and ability to read defenses like the back of his hand has allowed him to become the first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback that he's worked towards since his youth. Peyton Manning attended the University of Tennessee from 1994 to 1997. During his tenure with the Volunteers, Manning became the school's all-time leading passer with a total of 11,201 yards, 89 touchdowns, and a 39-6 record as a starter at the institution.
Manning was selected 1st overall by the Indianapolis Colts in the 1998 NFL Draft where he played fourteen out of the eighteen seasons of his NFL career. While a member of the Colts, he won four NFL Most Valuable Player Awards, a Super Bowl (XLI) victory in 2006, and Super Bowl XLI MVP. After a neck injury mishap with the Colts medical staff, Manning took his talents to the Denver Broncos where he won his fifth and final NFL MVP in 2013 and Super Bowl (50) victory in 2015. With three contracts worth at least $90 million under his belt, Manning has racked up close to $250 million in earnings throughout his career. The funny thing is that he left $19 million at the table when he decided to retire in 2016.
