The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Manning threw about 50 passes to the route-running Brandon Stokley in a local Denver-area park on Saturday morning. "I saw him for three days at Duke and he was the only QA (throwing to four or five receivers) and he threw a ton of balls for three straight practices and the guy looked to me like he did when I was there six years ago," said Stokley, the former Broncos receiver who was Manning's teammate with the Indianapolis Colts from 2003-06. "He threw on Saturday here on a little field and maybe because he had some rest, I think he looked better than he had last week."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Broncos and other teams who are pursuing the free-agent Manning have received some criticism for trying to lure him without watching him work out. But Manning's five-day workout at Duke was filmed, and distributed to teams upon his release last Wednesday by the Colts. Now Stokley has added some fuel to the fire. But is that enough to base a multi-million dollar investment on? Manning missed all of last season because of complications from multiple neck surgeries. "People who say the Broncos are crazy for not watching his balls fly, or what are they doing? Those people are dead wrong," Stokley said. "I'll put whatever reputation I have on the line behind that guy right now. He looks great. ..." Stay tuned.
