The Denver Broncos have plenty of famous fans from various walks of life. Now they can say they’ve added a country music superstar to that list.

Country singer Morgan Wallen donned a Peyton Manning Denver Broncos jersey on the first performance of his two-night stay in the Mile High City on Friday night. Wallen’s bandmates also donned versions of the new Broncos jerseys that debuted in April.
Wallen, Peyton and Eli Manning have been friends for a long time, as the quarterback duo helped Wallen announce his tour in 2023.
The Hall of Fame quarterback was also spotted with Wallen celebrating the Men’s College World Series win by the Tennessee Volunteers, which is Manning’s alma mater.
Now, this isn’t the only foray into music that Manning has made. In college, Manning famously led the Tennessee marching band in playing “Rocky Top,” the university’s fight song (Manning’s performance is at the 2:00 mark). In 2022, Manning came back on “College Gameday” to lead “Rocky Top” again, this time with former teammate Pat McAfee.
