If Super Bowl 50 is indeed Peyton Manning’s last rodeo, it’ll mark the end of an incredible career for the Denver Broncos pivot. The upside of Peyton packing it in? It means the University of Tennessee alum can continue to focus on another impressive career he has on the go: Trusted TV pitchman.
Let’s be real. Peyton’s arm strength isn’t what it once was, his regular season could have gone better and having your name attached to HGH unpleasantness isn’t recommended, but #18 is still on his own tier when it comes to popping up during every commercial break imaginable. He’s become such a natural in these spots that it almost feels like the dude used football as a sneak attack method to become a top notch ad guy. (Note: The Noid did not go this route.) Not every commercial Peyton appears in ranks as stellar, but you can always count on the 39-year-old NFL vet to bring something to the table.

As a public service, we here at UPROXX have assembled a 100 second highlight reel featuring Peyton in pitchman mode for companies like MasterCard, Nationwide and DIRECTV. It’s all one swirling marketing fever dream with the National Football League’s most valuable ad guy joking, chanting and charming his way to an even fuller bank account.
