DENVER — A gold jacket is no doubt coming soon for Peyton Manning, but on Wednesday, his induction into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame was more than enough.
“I am honored and humbled to be included in this year’s class of inductees into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame,” Manning said during his induction speech. “I’ve learned a lot about the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame over the years, and I’ve previously attended this banquet as an Athlete of the Year winner. This is certainly a first-class event and a first-class organization.”
Manning, who was recognized alongside five other inductees Wednesday night, joins an impressive group that includes many former Broncos players and members of the organization.
