A few weeks after the Denver Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers in a defensive slug fest to win Super Bowl 50, their starting quarterback is retiring. The sheriff which Peyton Manning is also known by is riding of into the sunset. Manning was the number one overall selection by the Indianapolis Colts back in 1997. One of his 1997 NFL Draft classmates defensive back Charles Woodson is also retiring. Manning evened in Superbowl record with the Broncos at 1-1. With the help of John Elway who's now a Denver Broncos executive reverse the Superbowl XLVIII defeat to the Seattle Seahawks. In Indianapolis Peyton Manning split a pair of Superbowl appearances first defeating Chicago then losing to Indianapolis. Little brother Eli Manning of the New York Football Giants and big brother Peyton are tied with 2 Lombardi trophies apiece. Peyton will always be affectively known for calling out the MIKE (opponents middle linebacker) and during pre snap read yelling out Omaha which could be a real audible or fake audible.
