Peyton Manning on Tom Brady's Move to Bucs: 'I Think He's Going to Do Great'

Five-time NFL MVP and two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Peyton Manning gave a vote of confidence for his ex-rival Tom Brady's move to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this offseason.

"I think he's going to do great," Manning told Sam Farmerof theLos Angeles Times. "Obviously, I can tell how excited he is. I know [head coach Bruce Arians] and [quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen] are excited to have him not only on the practice field and game field, but in the building as a leader."

Brady and Manning faced each other 17 times in their careers, with the former Patriot winning 11 of those matchups.
