"Someday people are going to ask me about catching passes from him - well, some people ask me now - but he's the greatest of all time. "I think he would love them all," Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas said. Probably because it is impossible for him to choose. He didn't veto, didn't necessarily approve. He corrected an error, and that was that.
We selected five that are part of the still-growing, remember-when story.Īnd we showed the five to Manning. So we made a list, checked it untold times, talked to those who have played with Manning, who have coached him, those who have caught and coached most of the touchdowns he has thrown. Too many teammates, too many games, too much work in too many practices to put one receiver before another, one play ahead of another, one teammate ahead of another. So when we asked Manning if he could pick his five most meaningful touchdown passes on the way to the regular-season record, he could not. When it comes to records, as longtime friend Brandon Stokley said: "He won't make it about him, he won't let himself. But picking his favorite or most memorable? Impossible. So touchdown passes? Even with the most in NFL history, Manning remembers them all. Insley caught one touchdown pass in his NFL career - a 19-yard pass from Manning, against, yes, the Falcons, on Dec. That's actually a very disturbing memory." "I can remember Trevor Insley caught a pass up the left sideline against Atlanta on a fake screen pass. "I can't remember a lot of things - important things - but I have a lot of useless information in my mind," Manning said.
This past summer Manning was, of course, remembering a play from almost two decades ago: "You know, I do wonder sometimes, that, like I say, I can't remember if I locked a certain door at the house, but I can see a seam route to Marvin from 1999 like it just happened." Peyton Manning's memory lane is some kind of cerebral Autobahn, fast and flowing, seemingly without speed limits.
