Peyton Manning has been hired as a professor at the University of Tennessee. He played four years at UT as the quarterback before a legendary NFL career. Even though it has been well over two decades since he played at Tennessee, Manning is still a fan-favorite and much loved by the school.

Manning has also provided them with scholarships and internships for his media company. On Monday, it was revealed that the College of Communication and Information appointed Manning as a professor of practice in the fall 2023 term.

Although Peyton Manning will be teaching classes about sports reporting, video production and public speaking, some CFB fans on Reddit had their own jokes about Manning becoming a professor.

Peyton Manning 'looking forward' to teaching

Although CFB Reddit had some jokes about what Peyton Manning would be teaching, UT announced that the former quarterback will teach topics like sports reporting, video production and performance, leadership and communication, and public speaking.

Moreover, Manning will also teach in person, so he will be back on campus even more, which he's excited about.

"My time as a student in the College of Communication and Information was a foundational experience, during which I learned critical skills and messaging techniques that I continue to put to use almost daily," Manning said.

"I look forward to working with the college's talented faculty and directly with students in an effort to ensure they are well prepared for their future careers."

Manning working for UT shouldn't come as a surprise, as ever since he left the school, he has been supporting them with his own money.
