Indianapolis Colts Hall-of-Famer Peyton Manning had plenty of success on the field, and now he looks to translate to the classroom.

Chris Low of ESPN shared that Peyton Manning is joining the University of Tennessee, Knoxville faculty for the 2023 fall term.

The Sheriff is now a Professor. Peyton Manning is joining the @UTKnoxville faculty during the fall 2023 term to help teach classes at his alma mater in the College of Communication and Information. The Hall of Fame QB is one of the most beloved figures in @Vol_Football history.

Manning is known as one of the smartest NFL QBs of all time, via his ability to identify defensive coverages at the line of scrimmage and the amount of time he spent off the field studying film.

He now will attempt to take that ability to the College of Communication and Information of the University of Tennesee Knoxville. I think it is safe to assume that his upcoming course will receive many transfer requests in the coming days.
