Following Sunday's news of Peyton Manning's retirement, his teammates and fellow Broncos took to social media to share their thoughts and memories of their time playing with him. From those like C.J. Anderson, Bennie Fowler and Jordan Norwood who caught passes from him, to players like Von Miller, Chris Harris Jr., David Bruton Jr., Omar Bolden and Kayvon Webster who defended those passes in practice, each Bronco has a special memory of their time on the field with Peyton Manning. Brandon Marshall's story about how much he learned from Manning is something you cannot miss.

Peyton was everything we thought he was and even more - for our team & community. What an AMAZING career & we're thankful he was a Bronco!!

P MONEY!! It's been a pleasure.. That year I had on practice squad, just going against you everyday made me a better player. Made me a smarter player.. And I've learned so much about the game of Football from you. At the end of 2013 You helped me get to the position where I could get up on the active roster and have a pivotal role on the team in 2014.. Now I'm happy to say that in 2016 I was apart of the group that helped you win your 2nd Ring.. Thank you for all you've done, not only for me but for the city of Denver and the Game of Football.. It's been an amazing ride..Now you get to ride off into the sunset on TOP of the game. As the best to ever do it in my opinion. The G.O.A.T 🐐
