Former Broncos quarterback still lives in the Denver area and he occasionally attends NBA games featuring the Nuggets. At one of their games in December, Manning played catch with Rocky the Mountain Lion, the Nuggets’ mascot.
Manning jokingly warmed up with a short toss before throwing a longer pass to the mascot.
Manning isn’t the only Bronco who shows off his arm strength at Denver sporting events. Superstar outside linebacker Von Miller signed and then threw a football into the stands at an Avalanche game last month.
Miller has also attended Rockies games with his teammates and the Rapids of MLS have even (sarcastically?) offered Miller a spot on their roster. Clearly, he’s a fan of many sports.
Miller’s going to stick with football, though, specifically as an outside linebacker (though he does think he would be a good running back).
