Peyton Manning was the perfect choice for the celebrity guest picker on College GameDay on Saturday morning.
The ESPN pregame show was on hand in Knoxville ahead of a massive game between undefeated Tennessee and undefeated Alabama.
Manning, of course, played at Tennessee before going on to a historic NFL career, in which he won 2 Super Bowls. He and his brother, Eli, now host several ManningCast broadcasts per season during Monday Night Football.
Peyton Manning is made for TV and fans loved his appearance on Saturday morning. Here’s what they had to say about him on social media:
Peyton Manning should be a permanent on @CollegeGameDay. Dude is too good.

Pat McAfee with Peyton Manning is dynamite. College GameDay today was classic. Also great to see Lee Corso back.
