SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Jordan Taylor sauntered into the locker room, a spiffy custom-made charcoal suit slung over his right shoulder.
"Let me see it," Peyton Manning asked excitedly.
The Denver Broncos' practice squad receiver unzipped the white vinyl bag to reveal the three-piece ensemble as Manning admired the craftsmanship and choice of color.
The suit was a gift from Manning, his way of thanking Taylor for helping him regain his rhythm and reclaim his starting job in time to make this run to Super Bowl 50.
A 6-foot-5 rookie from Rice with runway model good looks and long, golden locks, Taylor served as Manning's personal practice partner when the five-time MVP began his comeback from a left foot injury in December.
