Peyton Manning



 Peyton Manning, the NFL’s only five-time Most Valuable Player and a 14-time Pro Bowl selection, has earned his place among the greatest quarterbacks in league history as one of the leaders in nearly every statistical passing category and the first starting quarterback in NFL history to win a Super Bowl with two different teams. 
Manning entered the NFL in 1998 with the Indianapolis Colts as the first overall draft pick. When he retired from football in 2016, Manning held numerous records including the most career touchdown passes in league history, first all-time in completions and passing yards and more playoff appearances and 300-yard passing games than any other player. Named a first-team All-Pro selection by the Associated Press on seven occasions, Manning led the Colts to a 29-17 win over the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI and the Broncos to a 24-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50. In 2017, the Colts honored Manning by retiring his number 18 at Lucas Oil Stadium. 
Manning has been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as well as the Colorado, Louisiana and Tennessee Sports Hall of Fames. Manning has also received numerous awards for his philanthropic work off the field and was honored as the recipient of the Byron “Whizzer” White Humanitarian Award and the NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2005, the Bart Starr Award in 2015, and the Lincoln Medal in 2017. 
Manning is a longtime supporter of The Pat Summit Foundation, a non-profit with a mission to find a cure for Alzheimer’s. In 2012, Manning joined The Pat Summit Foundation Advisory Board and co-chairs several fundraising events throughout the year. He also sits on the American Red Cross National Celebrity Cabinet – lending a hand during disaster relief. 
He and his wife, Ashley, established the PeyBack Foundation in 1999 to promote the future success of disadvantaged youth by assisting programs that provide leadership and growth opportunities for children at risk. The PeyBack Foundation has provided more than $14 million of impact to disadvantaged youth through its grants and programs since its inception. Manning is a champion for the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St. Vincent (Indiana); serving as an ambassador, advocate and fundraiser. Peyton and Ashley co-chair the signature fundraising event for the hospital each spring, which raises money to expand and enhance departments and services offered. 
A sought-after speaker on the corporate lecture circuit, Manning also hosts and writes the NFL version of Detail on ESPN+ and is filming Peyton’s Places set to air this fall on ESPN+ to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the NFL, all while continuing his iconic commercials and various business partnerships. 
He and Ashley have twins—a boy and a girl, Marshall Williams and Mosley Thompson and currently reside in Denver, Colorado.
