Peyton Manning, born on March 24, 1976, in New Orleans, Louisiana, is a celebrated former NFL quarterback renowned for his exceptional skills and football IQ. Over his 18-season career, he played 14 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts and four with the Denver Broncos. Manning, known as “the Sheriff,” is often regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. He transformed the Colts into a powerhouse, leading them to multiple playoff appearances and securing victory in Super Bowl XLI.
