Peyton Manning is a Super Bowl expert.
With this year’s game only days away, Manning’s rooting interests are not attached to either the Chiefs or the Eagles. But he will be focused on two players: Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts.
“I’m a quarterback defender,” says Manning. “For years, I was in that category of quarterbacks that hadn’t won a Super Bowl. Then I won a Super Bowl, and I left that group on paper, but I never really left the group. I wouldn’t abandon them.”
Neither of the starting QBs in this year’s game is necessarily Super Bowl–needy. Mahomes is seeking his second title, and while Hurts is looking to collect his first, this is only his second season as a starter.
