Peyton Manning can get credit for turning the Denver Broncos into a perennial Super Bowl window from 2012 to 2015. Although Manning led the Broncos to only one Super Bowl title, he helped them reach two Super Bowls and four playoff appearances. And he got there with a bit of help from his friends.

Bailey highlighted that one of the things that added to Manning’s aura was his humor, noting that he goes out of his way to watch Peyton & Eli’s “ManningCast” on Monday nights. However, on the field, he loved how much Manning brought in much-needed leadership to the locker room and organization. Bailey had nothing but good things to say about The Sheriff.
