ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Now that Peyton Manning has officially called it a career, Denver Broncos wide receiver Bennie Fowler knows his place in history.
Fowler was 7 years old when Manning made his NFL debut in 1998, and Fowler caught what turned out to be Manning’s last pass when he reeled in Manning’s throw on a two-point conversion in the Broncos’ 24-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50.
More than anything, though, Fowler was another NFL fan who had watched Manning do his Hall of Fame work.
