Peyton Manning Congratulated Troy Polamalu, Ed Reed After Their Retirements

Just in case you needed another reason to respect and admire Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, NFL Network's Scott Hanson might have uncovered another one:

Peyton told me he sent @tpolamalu & Ed Reed handwritten "career congrats" notes. He writes respected retirees every offseason.

A two-time Super Bowl champion, Polamalu announced his retirement in April after 12 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In three regular-season games, all while Manning was with the Indianapolis Colts, Polamalu recorded one interception on No. 18, but his Steelers went 1-2.
