The Facts: Aside from shooting an endless stream of commercials that are sure to run all football season, what has Peyton Manning been doing with himself since announcing his retirement? It seems Manning has been playing tutor. Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that Manning visited Dolphins headquarters earlier this spring to meet with his former OC Adam Gase and help instruct Tannehill.
Diehards Line:
Per Jackson, the tutoring session was entirely Manning's idea. It was a boon for Tannehill -- learning another new offense -- who, due to CBA restrictions, wasn't allowed to meet with coaches. "It was really cool," Tannehill said. "At that time, we weren't able to meet with the coaches or anything, so I didn't really have a great handle yet." It's safe to say Manning helped in that regard.
