The journey with the Colts was a long and successful one for Manning, he managed to bring the team from the worst in the NFL to a premier team for many years. Many sports fans tribute the location of the 2011 season's Superbowl to Peyton because of everything he did to put Indianapolis on the football map.
The journey to his release started early in the year of 2011, he had his first of four surgeries on his neck, which would cause him to miss the entire 2011 season. The loss of Manning for a year became a catalyst for the future of the Colts franchise. A young quarterback at Stanford University has been the favorite for the overall draft pick of the 2012 draft since before the 2011 draft. Andrew Luck will be the first draft pick for the Colts and is the reason that Manning is currently searching for a new team.
The Destination for Manning is unclear, however one thing is for sure, Peyton Manning will continue to make headlines over the next year. Manning Mania has officially started.
