Peyton Manning has parlayed his NFL career into one as a professional speaker. Since Super Bowl 50, Manning has crisscrossed the country for speaking engagements at business conferences, high school sports banquets and many other events.
On Thursday, he was the keynote speaker at the Middle Tennessee Sports Awards in Nashville, where more than 150 student-athletes were honored. Per usual, Manning addressed the latest reports about his next career with a mix of humor and uncertainty.
Here’s what he had to say about coaching, letting his son play football and more, according to highlights posted on social media:
