Peyton Manning played the last four seasons of his career with the Denver Broncos, but he established himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time during his 13 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts.
Now, the Colts are unveiling a statue of Manning on October 7, and they are retiring his No. 18 jersey the following day as the Colts host the San Francisco 49ers.
