Peyton Manning Crashes University of Tennessee Online Class

Former Tennessee and future Hall of Fame NFL QB Peyton Manning took part in a surprise virtual drop-in for a University of Tennessee class on Thursday.

He crashed his former professor's Communications 499 class, surprising the students and attempting to lift their spirits.

"I realize this is probably not the ideal way you guys expected to spend your senior year," Manning said. "I just encourage you to keep a positive attitude, keep working like you're doing and try to take a little bit of the extra time you have to accomplish something else or help out somebody in need.
