A new eyewitness account from one of Peyton Manning's former Tennessee teammates has added a new twist to the 1996 incident involving the quarterback and then-Volunteers trainer Jamie Naughright.
The MMQB's Robert Klemko reported Wednesday on what Greg Johnson, a linebacker and roommate of Manning's, witnessed in February 1996, which supports Manning's side of the story:
I won't speak to my opinion of Ms. Naughright or of Peyton. I was in the training room fairly often. I don't know why I was in there that day.
Saxon walks in, and Peyton was the kind of guy who had to be friendly with everyone; he wanted to include everyone, from his teammates to the cross country guy.
