Former Vol Peyton Manning discusses how Tennessee allowed him to grow as a man, refine skills.

Former University of Tennessee quarterback Peyton Manning was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Sunday in Canton, Ohio.

During Manning’s enshrinement speech, the former Vol discussed his time at Tennessee.

“In college, at my beloved alma mater, the University of Tennessee, football gave me a platform to help me grow as a man and refine my skills,” Manning said.

Manning retired from the National Football league following the 2015 season. He won two Super Bowl championships and was a five-time MVP during his career with Denver and Indianapolis.

He played for the Vols from 1994-97, winning the Southeastern Conference championship during his senior season.
