Peyton Manning helps establish scholarship in honor of DT

Peyton Manning has once again made the perfect decision.

And although he can no longer throw a pass to Demaryius Thomas, one of his favorite receivers, he can still honor his very good friend every year with scholarships to DT’s alma mater, Georgia Tech.

The PeyBack Foundation, Manning’s charitable organization with his wife Ashley, established the Demaryius A. Thomas Scholarship Endowment, in memory of Manning’s Denver Broncos teammate and Georgia Tech football legend Demaryius Thomas.

“Demaryius Thomas was an incredibly talented and unselfish teammate, but more importantly, he was a special person and friend,” Manning said, noting that he wanted to honor DT’s memory.
