While Manning retired from the league after the 2015 season, his witty commentary and analysis on ManningCast has often been lauded. The legendary signal-caller runs the show alongside his brother and fellow NFL legend Eli Manning.

Peyton Manning scored 28/50 on his Wonderlic test at the NFL Combine in 1998. His score is considered slightly above the average quarterback's score of 24.
