Former Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will host the 2017 ESPY Awards, ESPN announced on Tuesday.
The All-Pro quarterback won the ESPY’s Icon Award in 2016 along with recently retired Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant and U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team forward Abby Wambach.
Manning retired in 2016 after his Super Bowl 50 win with the Broncos. In his 18-year career, “The Sheriff” threw for 71,940 yards and 539 touchdowns— both NFL records.
The Colts announced on May 10 the team will unveil a statue of Manning outside Lucas Oil Stadium and retire his number in October.
