Former Tennessee football quarterback Peyton Manning’s impact on professional sports as a whole and especially in the NFL has not gone unnoticed over the past few months. On Friday, Gatorade took the honoring to a whole new level.
A star with the Vols, Indianapolis Colts, and Denver Broncos, Manning was also a star with companies who used him in commercials. And Gatorade recognized it.
In a Dear Peyton feature, Gatorade ran a YouTube video of all the letters Manning had written personal letters to people over the years, including former athletes, family members, teammates, parents, and students.
