SANTA CLARA – There are those who might think being Peyton Manning’s position coach is the easiest job in football.
After all, Manning seemingly has the craft above the shoulders mastered to the point that he can coax productivity and a Super Bowl season from a ragged right arm that can no longer make all the throws.
Greg Knapp, 52, has worked closely with Manning for the past three seasons as Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach and passing-game coordinator. He broke into the NFL with the 49ers at a time in which Steve Young and the 49ers were coming off a Super Bowl title.
