The football world celebrated the career of Peyton Manning on Monday as he announced his retirement from the National Football League.
Not only is Manning one of the best quarterbacks of the past two decades, he is one of the greatest of all time.
Manning entered the league in 1998 as the top pick in the NFL Draft. There were many questions surrounding his selection — many thought Washington State quarterback Ryan Leaf was the better player.
After four seasons, Leaf was out of the league and Manning had already led his team to the playoffs twice.
