Broncos general manager John Elway pulled off the best signing of his career in 2012, landing superstar quarterback Peyton Manning on a five-year, $96 million contract.
With the anniversary of that signing one month away, the NFL’s “Throwback” channel posted a video compilation of reactions to Manning landing in Denver. The video is blocked from being viewed here but can be seen on YouTube.
After signing with the Broncos, Manning went on to help the team win the AFC West in four straight seasons, reaching two Super Bowls along the way. Following the 2015 season, Denver defeated the Panthers 24-10 in Super Bowl 50.
With that victory, Manning became the first starting quarterback in NFL history to win a Super Bowl with two different teams. He retired after that Super Bowl win with 14 Pro Bowl nods and five NFL MVP awards on his resume. Manning will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021.
