Former Broncos great Peyton Manning has been named the 10th recipient of the Lamar Hunt Award for Professional Football.
Manning earned the honor Wednesday for "his positive impact to the game, both on and off the field, during his illustrious playing career," according to a release.
He will be given the award on Feb. 24 during the 48th annual NFL 101 Awards. Both the AFC and NFC players and coaches of the year from the 2017 season will be honored alongside Manning.
The award, which was created in 2008, honors the legacy of Lamar Hunt, the Chiefs' founder.
