The official start to Hall of Fame 2021 season has opened, and Peyton Manning might as well go ahead and get his gold jacket fitted.
A first-ballot nominee, there is no way Manning isn’t making his acceptance speech in Canton next summer (well, assuming no more pandemics spring up and cancel events).
After all, during Manning’s 18 years in the league with two teams, the phenom was a five-time NFL MVP, a 14-time Pro Bowler, a seven-time first-team All-Pro and a two-time Super Bowl champion.
Playing for the Broncos from 2012-2016, Manning helped the Broncos win the AFC West each year and become AFC champions twice.
