Peyton Manning Will Retire from NFL as Greatest Of All Time
- 8 years ago
The Sheriff has decided to ride off into the sunset, and while his Hall of Fame enshrinement awaits him in five years, this much is undeniable: Peyton Manning has been the greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL.
Manning holds nearly every meaningful passing record in the books with 539 touchdowns, 71,940 career passing yards and 200 wins counting the playoffs.
He has five MVP awards to his credit, more than any player in history.
And of course, as we saw just weeks ago when the Denver Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50, he’s the only starting quarterback to win a championship with two teams.
Manning turns 40 a little over two weeks from today, and with nothing left to prove on the field, he’s earned the right to step away and spend more time with his family, or to do whatever else it is he has in store.
