Phillip Fulmer, David Cutcliffe help surprise Peyton Manning with Hall of Fame news
Peyton Manning will be a member of the 8-person Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 2021 class, along with guys like Charles Woodson, Calvin Johnson and Alan Faneca.
Every year around this time, the players who will be enshrined in Canton, Ohio, are surprised either by a phone call or a visit from Hall of Fame president and CEO David Baker.
As you can see below, Baker had some help surprising Manning. A pair of his former Tennessee coaches — David Cutcliffe and Phillip Fulmer — were involved in the Hall of Fame reveal:

Those 2 former Vol coaches were joined by Tony Dungy, Jim Caldwell and Gary Kubiak before Baker broke the news to Manning officially.
It couldn’t have been too much of a surprise for Manning, though, as he’s about the biggest no-brainer Hall of Famer ever. He was a shoo-in to be inducted on his first ballot after winning 5 NFL MVP awards and 2 Super Bowls.
Nice to see Fat Phil, fresh off of destroying Tennessee football, is still staying active.
Fat boy will forever own your worthless a$$ boy!

Whose your daddy Corch!!! Haha haha FatPhil thats who. All the personal insults in the world will never change that you UGA troll POS.
LOL. Really?
Like how Mark Richt ended Fat Phil’s career at Tennessee?
As I have often said the last month, delusional is spelled H-I-L-L-B-I-L-L-Y!
LOL!
I still don’t see why hillbilly is insulting? I mean, it’s much better than being called a Georgia fan.
No joke what a waddling disaster he has been for Tennessee for pretty much the entire 21st Century.
I thought they would hand him his HOF jacket stuffed in a McDonald’s bag.

Back in the day when he coached here,we could tell how good we would play based on the belly hole crater size. Bigger the crater better we played. Seriously. If he lost weight, smaller crater, grumpier Phil.
Congratulations to Peyton Manning. He earned and deserved his induction into the PFHOF.
