Peyton Manning | Peyton Manning Commercial | Peyton Manning Timeline

 


Peyton Manning is one of those people who succeed early and just keep going. He had plenty of background and motivation for his football career, with his father and two brothers having played football. But a famous name won't help if you haven't got the inner discipline and motivation to succeed yourself. And that's where Peyton Manning stands out.

His successful high school gridiron record attracted offers from hundreds of colleges, but he chose to "Volunteer" at Tennessee for its academic excellence. And there, at UT, Peyton became a legend. Not only for his unparalleled performance on the field, but for his dedication to obtaining the best education possible. Ignoring the early call of the NFL, Peyton stayed at UT to complete his course of studies, graduating cum laude with a B.S. degree in Speech Communications while establishing a winning record on the football field that will take a very long time to be eclipsed. As a result, he was chosen as a number one pick by the Indianapolis Colts, and has begun his NFL career... which should be nothing short of amazing, given the skills and dedication of Peyton Manning.

Peyton's talents and goal-reaching abilities make him a great spokesman for Gatorade. He's at the very beginning of what could be a record-breaking career. And, knowing Peyton, that's exactly what he'll accomplish – one game at a time.
