Peyton Manning's Life Since Retiring From The NFL
In 2021, Peyton Manning became a first-ballot Hall of Famer. The stats during his football career speak for themselves: as the Colts' franchise quarterback from 1998 to 2011, he set rookie records for completions, yards, and touchdowns, per Pro Football Hall of Fame. He led the 2006 Indianapolis Colts team to a Super Bowl victory and was named the game's MVP. As a Colt, he earned the league's MVP a whopping four times.
If his career ended with his first team, it would have been enough for a ticket to Canton, but he continued his success with the Denver Broncos. In 2012, he became the Comeback Player of the Year, and the following year, he nabbed the league's MVP title once again, notes the Broncos. He led the team to two Super Bowl appearances, winning one in 2016 in his last season. Known for his arm, Manning set almost every quarterback record, including passing touchdowns in a season with 55, and career passing yards with 71,940. By the time he retired, Manning was the only quarterback ever to lead two teams to the Super Bowl.
His father and former NFL quarterback, Archie Manning, presented him at the ceremony, while former rivals Tom Brady and Ray Lewis were in the audience to support him, via NFL. In his speech, Manning said he was finished with football and would continue to find ways to preserve the game.
