You don’t always need speed. Just ask Peyton Manning.
The Broncos’ quarterback and surefire hall of famer is back in Louisiana this weekend for the 20th annual Manning Passing Academy at Nicholls State. During a question-and-answer session with the campers Thursday, Peyton, a quarterback who isn’t exactly known for his blazing speed, was asked about its importance at the position.
As if his career alone wasn’t enough proof, Peyton told the campers some tales from his high school days to further emphasize his point, that speed isn’t vital if you can compensate in other areas.
