Peyton Manning #18, Quarterback, Indianapolis Colts

SHARE Indianapolis Colts quarterback PEYTON MANNING continues to rise to the top of the NFL’s record books. In 2008, Manning can become the first QB in NFL annals to throw 25 touchdowns in 11 years in a row as well as become the first to pass for 4,000 yards in nine different seasons. Manning’s success has been attributed to his superior work ethic, preparation, focus, dedication and competitive spirit. The quarterback position in the NFL is considered an elite fraternity and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback CARSON PALMER has nothing but respect and admiration for Manning. "He is special," says Palmer, "because of his ability to focus – his ability to focus on watching film, his ability to focus on studying and his ability to focus on preparing for games.

NFL 2008 RSS   "He took what made him productive early in his career – in training and preparation – and just never let up. When he was successful, he didn't all of a sudden say, 'Hey, I've got it…I've figured it out' and then just showed up to play. He studies as hard now as he did his rookie year." Colts wide receiver REGGIE WAYNE, who posted a league-high 1,510 receiving yards last season as one of Manning’s main weapons, has been a direct beneficiary of his quarterback’s preparation. "Peyton is a quarterback who prepares like no other at any position and knowing this makes all of us work harder," says Wayne. "That’s what makes him special." Younger brother ELI, a quarterback for the New York Giants, has followed in the footsteps of his older brother, including winning a Super Bowl title and earning Super Bowl MVP honors. Eli is paving his own road to success, but knows the quality that makes his brother extraordinary. "Competitiveness is the quality that makes Peyton such a special quarterback," says Eli. "His competitiveness forces him to be dedicated to winning. It gives him the drive and commitment to put in the hard work it takes to be a special quarterback in this league." Below is a look at the most consecutive seasons with 25 or more touchdown passes by an NFL quarterback in league history:   PLAYER YEARS CONSECUTIVE SEASONS WITH 25+ TD PASSES Peyton Manning 1998-2007 10* Dan Marino 1984-1988 5 Brett Favre 1994-1998 5 Brett Favre 2001-2004 4 Many tied -- 3 *Active streak   The most 4,000-yard passing seasons by an NFL quarterback in league history: PLAYER PLAYER 4,000-YARD Plus PASSING SEASONS Peyton Manning* 8 Dan Marino 6 Brett Favre* 5 Warren Moon 4 *Active WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN 2008 PEYTON MANNING, Indianapolis, has led the league in touchdown passes three times in his 10-year career and can tie Brett Favre, Johnny Unitas, Len Dawson and Steve Young (4) for the most seasons leading the league in touchdown passes.
