Peyton Manning Inducted into Colorado Sports Hall of Fame

While Peyton Manning only spent four seasons in Denver, he brought the team to the promiseland. On Wednesday, he was inducted in Colorado forever.

Peyton Manning will be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the near future. There is no denying that. But his contributions to what he brought to the Denver Broncos in his four seasons was deserving of perhaps the highest honors in Colorado Sports.

Peyton Manning was inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame on Wednesday. He accomplished so much in his short time in Denver. Let’s visit them.

As a team. the Broncos won four division titles. They advanced to play in two AFC Championship Games and won both. They were the AFC representatives in two Super Bowls, winning one. As a team, the Broncos were consistently one of the top dogs in the AFC.

As far as his individual performances, he won Most Valuable Player in 2013. He broke the season record for most touchdown passes in a season. He also set NFL records for most passing yards and touchdowns in a career. The best part was that he got to ride into the sunset as a champion.

And how fitting this is because 20 years ago today was when Peyton Manning entered the NFL by way of the 1998 NFL draft.

It is great that the Denver Broncos had such the honor of having Peyton Manning on the team. You could just feel the energy and the change of atmosphere with number 18 running the offense.

Perhaps my greatest memory of him in a Broncos uniform was getting to see him live in 2014. Watching him run the offense against the New York Jets was something I will never forget.

Thank You for everything you have done for the state of Colorado. We miss you Peyton Manning and want to congratulate you on a great honor.
