In this touching letter, Russell Wilson thanks Peyton Manning for inspiring him to get into the game.
Do you remember Super Bowl XLVIII? At this point, who doesn’t. The Seahawks were eager to win as we saw everything crumble for Denver. But, two years later, the Broncos came back to the same stage and were able to hold it down as they beat the Panthers in Super Bowl 50.
With the news of Peyton Manning’s possible retirement lingering about, many players have come forward and have started to thank Manning. Russell Wilson wrote a touching letter for Manning via the Players’ Tribune.
You inspired me to work hard. To be disciplined. To be respectful. To take notes.
You inspired me to love the process. To love the sweat. To love the tears.
But most of all …
You inspired me to love the game.
Thanks, Peyton.
If this is it,
Thanks.
Is this really is for Peyton? We’ll have to stay tuned in.
