Peyton Manning spent his college days tearing up the SEC with the Tennessee Volunteers. He will now reportedly spend some of his free time teaching classes as a professor at the college this fall, according to ESPN’s Chris Low.
When Manning’s brother Eli caught wind of the news over Twitter, he couldn’t help but roast his brother’s class. Likely anyone who’s ever been to college understands the concept of a class being a “gimme,” something guaranteed to boost (or buoy) an overall GPA.
And per Eli’s joke, that’s exactly the kind of class prospective students will get from Peyton as a teacher.

Honestly, who knows what kind of teacher Manning will be with regular students. Everyone has their own style. But if anyone knows what to expect, it’s probably his brother — even in a joking manner.
And who knows. Maybe even the iconic Chad Powers makes an appearance in class.
This is how Twitter reacted

Pretty cool that he's playing on a teacher's salary this year too

If Chad Powers isn’t one of his students, it’s a missed opportunity.
