Peyton Manning is undoubtedly one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. If you want to throw in the “regular season” caveat so be it.
But for all intents and purposes Manning is likely the most recognizable figures of the modern NFL due to his off-field endorsements and activities making him a person that would be noticed by everyone from grandmothers to little children that have never watched a down of football.
So now that Manning has gotten to ride off in to the sunset with a Super Bowl ring, the NFL world isn’t going to hear as much about Manning as they have over the past few years.
