After a tweet from a Duke football player Wednesday, NBC-17 has confirmed that NFL quarterback Peyton Manning is in the Triangle working out with the Duke football team.
Matt Skura, a center for the Blue Devils, tweeted: "Got to stretch next to Peyton Manning today and say hello."
NBC-17 has confirmed that Manning is working out with Duke's football team. Current Duke Head Coach David Cutcliffe was Manning's offensive coordinator at the University of Tennessee in the 1990s and remains a close family friend.
Peyton Manning has played quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts for fourteen years, but missed the entire 2011 NFL season due to a neck injury. Now, the four time league MVP is waiting to see what his future holds. Will he remain with the Colts or become one of the NFL’s most coveted free agents ever?
Last week he was medically cleared to once again play in the NFL and continues to work to regain arm strength and attempt to get back to the NFL form that led him to eleven Pro Bowls in his career and more than 54,000 passing yards.
Last summer, Peyton's younger brother and Super Bowl XLVI MVP Eli Manning also worked with Cutcliffe at Duke.
