The Denver Broncos rookies have started to get a better feel of the NFL through their minicamp and volunteer OTAs. In addition to getting in peak physical shape, they must also keep their mind sharp because their coaches and coordinators will start to introduce parts of the playbook.
Adjusting to this routine could be challenging for young athletes, especially because they must ramp up their devotion to the game. Luckily for them, they have the best resource person for navigating through their rookie season in Peyton Manning.
In a photo shared on the Broncos’ official account on X (formerly Twitter), the Broncos rookies flanked the five-time NFL Most Valuable Player. Likewise, the two-time Super Bowl champion is the perfect resource person for anything the rookies want to learn.
Learning from the best. 🐐

Dealing with adversity? Manning overcame the challenges, especially after throwing a league-high 28 interceptions during his rookie season. Likewise, he also got over the hump of not winning the big one when the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl 41. He also won another Super Bowl after undergoing spinal fusion surgery.
Mental and physical preparation? Only a handful of guys can outwork the former Broncos quarterback. His obsession with every small detail and nuance helped him become a ten-time All-Pro and a 13-time Pro Bowler. Likewise, he plays mind games with opponents with the way he calls and adjusts plays.

While they are rookies, it doesn’t hurt to prepare for the next phase of their life. If they want to venture into business, Peyton Manning is also an ideal resource person because of his diverse portfolio.

Manning Spends Time with Two-Time Masters Winner
The NFL record-holder for most touchdowns passes and passing yards in a season has a lot on his plate, especially now that he’s a businessman and a father. However, he still finds time to unwind through golf.
As the Broncos’ official X account posted, Peyton Manning shared a moment with two-time Masters golf champion Scottie Scheffler. The world’s number one golfer recently won the PGA Championship, his third major golf title.
