Post 2: Peyton Manning Commercials

Peyton Manning will go down as one of the most prolific quarterbacks in the history of the National Football League. He has a super bowl ring and countless pro bowl appearances, not to mention his 4 MVP Awards. Along with this mantra of football, Manning has done his fair share of acting in various tv commercials, expressing his rather dry, yet comical humor.
Recently, Peyton and his brother, Eli, who quarterbacks for the New York Giants and also has a Super Bowl ring, have been strutting their style for DirecTV. Here, you can find one of Peyton's first commercials that was aired nearly three years ago. In this commercial it is obvious to see that he was a little rough around the edges in his witty acting abilities. However, his savvy has developed quite a bit to its level today, as seen here.
The move for Peyton to endorse DirecTV has been a great move for both parties. Not only does Peyton put a good face to DirecTV, but the company has utilized him for the NFL Sunday Ticket package; which airs every NFL game of the week on various channels. For Peyton this is a great way to get more fans watching his team as well.
Furthermore, he has continued to stay focused on the field, having career numbers and leading the league in numerous statistical categories every year.
Many viewers on Youtube have noticed Peyton's acting abilities. Besides DirecTV he has also endorsed for MasterCard, Oreo, Gatorade and Sprint, just to name a few. Totalling nearly 100,000 commercials, Peyton has become one of the most decorated endorsers, trailing only Tiger Woods. These numbers are surely to change placing Peyton in the number one spot with Tiger's recent debacle. Here is a shot of Peyton's top 5 commercials as voted on by YouTube viewers. As you can see they have a twist on them that makes him unlike any other; I hope you look forward to upcoming Manning commercials as much as I am!
