Over nine professional seasons, Indianapolis Colts player Peyton Manning earned a reputation as one of football’s best quarterbacks. But he had never won a Super Bowl. That finally changed on February 4, 2007, when he led his team to victory in Super Bowl XLI. The Colts defeated the Chicago Bears 29–17. During the game, Manning completed 25 of 38 passes for 247 yards. He was voted Most Valuable Player (MVP) for his stellar performance.

Manning then directed the Colts to a successful 13–3 season in 2007. But he saw his team go down to defeat in the American Football Conference (AFC) divisional playoff game. He then became an enthusiastic spectator as his younger brother Eli, also a quarterback, led the New York Giants to victory in Super Bowl XLII.

Manning became the first player to be honored as the NFL’s MVP four times as the Colts enjoyed a 14–2 season in 2009. The Colts went on to another Super Bowl appearance in February 2010, where they were upset by the New Orleans Saints, 31–17. Manning led the Colts to a 10–6 season in 2010. The team lost to the New York Jets in the AFC wild-card playoff game.

In September 2011, Manning had neck surgery to fix the damaged cervical vertebrae in his neck. It was his third neck procedure in 19 months. The surgery caused him to miss the opening game of the Colts 2011 season. It was unknown when he would return to the field. The star quarterback had made 227 consecutive starts, including postseason, for the Colts.

Peyton Williams Manning was born on March 24, 1976, in New Orleans, Louisiana. His father, Archie Manning, was the quarterback for the New Orleans Saints. As a youngster, Peyton played football, baseball, and basketball. But the gridiron was his favorite. While in the eighth grade, he would lie awake at night listening to tapes of his father’s old college games. He became the quarterback of his high-school football team and had a 34–5 record as a starter.

At the University of Tennessee, Manning became an Academic All-American on its football team. He was named MVP of the 1997 Citrus Bowl. In 1998, he was a runner-up in the voting for the Heisman Trophy as the best college football player. During his college career, he set 33 school records. He was the first Tennessee player to have his jersey retired.

Manning was the number one pick of the Indianapolis Colts in the 1998 draft. He set five rookie passing records for a quarterback in his first season. The Associated Press (AP) named Manning and Steve McNair of the Tennessee Titans the NFL’s co-MVPs in 2003. The following year, he took the honor by himself. Throughout his career, the star quarterback has remained an astute student of the game. Always well prepared, he is known for his ability to quickly size up an opposing team’s defensive strategy.

Manning formed the PeyBack Foundation in 1999 to help underprivileged children. He married Ashley Thompson in 2001.
