Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning continues to shatter records and break down defenses in the Mile High City. Manning recently became the career passing touchdown leader, passing Brett Favre in a Sunday night victory against the San Francisco 49ers on Oct. 19. His 508 touchdown pass to Wes Welker tied the record, while the 509 touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas surpassed it.

Only four days later, on Oct. 23, Manning crushed the division rival San Diego Chargers with three more touchdowns in the game. His talent remains and his physical abilities seem stable as well. While he has only one more year remaining on his contract after the 2014-15 season, it is conceivable that there will be a place for Manning in the NFL until he feels the time is right to step away, even as he approaches and exceeds the age of 40.

On pace for around 30 more touchdowns this year, Manning could extend the passing record books to unreachable distances. If he plays an additional two years after the present one, he could potentially reach the benchmark of 600 touchdowns.

Amazingly consistent, Manning’s hunger for success has propelled him into the conversation for greatest quarterback of all time. He doesn’t have the biggest arm or the quickest feet, but his motions are smooth and his decision-making is on point.

The ultimate professional, Manning is just as humble as when he entered the league so many seasons ago. There is always another obstacle to face and another challenge to overcome for the veteran, so much so that he rarely takes time to admire his work and accomplishments.

Close attention to detail and intense focus, combined with undeniable physical talent, has yielded Manning several records and wins. All that’s left now is to deliver a Super Bowl to Denver in 2015. But who knows, maybe his drive for success won’t end there either.
