Peyton Manning has stepped away from the football field for good (barring a Brett Favre-type return), and in his spare time he's apparently giving pointers to up-and-coming quarterbacks.
The veteran reportedly took his knowledge to South Beach to meet with his former Denver Broncos offensive coordinator, and now Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase and Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, per Miami Herald:
"It was really cool," Tannehill told me. "A guy that had his career, the living legend he is, coming off a Super Bowl winning season —- it was really cool just to be able to sit and pick his brain about things he's done in this offense and football things in general: snap counts, things you like, the way you want guys to run routes, little details about the game. We really just got to talk the game, which is something we both love."
There's certainly worse things Manning could be doing that mentoring one of the brighter young talents in the NFL. And if Tannehill can turn things around, the Miami offense might be one to watch for in what could be a relatively wide-open AFC East.
