If Peyton Manning retires following Super Bowl 50, he could join an exclusive club — star athletes or coaches to go out as champions. Here are a few of the most notable:
John Elway
It’s hard to finish an NFL career any better. Elway won back-to-back Super Bowl crowns after losing in his first three trips to the big game. In his last game, Super Bowl XXXIII, the Hall of Famer was named the game’s MVP — at 38 years old, the oldest player to win that honor — throwing for 336 yards and a touchdown while completing 18-of-29 passes and rushing for a score in a 34-19 victory over the Falcons.
