Peyton Manning was one of the NFL's best quarterbacks, but he always had a good supporting cast around him for his winning teams, and three of his backup quarterbacks argue about who was his favorite in a new spot for Bud Light.

Peyton Manning's backups raise a toast

With Manning’s number set to be retired by the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday (October 8), a new video by Bud Light celebrates him in a unique and humorous way. Bud Light brought together three of his closest friends from his playing days – his back-up quarterbacks, Jim Sorgi, Curtis Painter and Brock Huard – to joke around, reminisce, and give each other a good-natured hard-time about each of their time spent as Peyton’s backup.

The video celebrates the close relationships that all of these players had with Manning, and provides a deeper look at what it was like to essentially have his “back” all year long during countless film sessions, QB meetings, practices and game day sideline huddles. Unsurprisingly, all three are wearing Manning's #18 jersey and all hoist a Bud Light bottle toast to their former gridiron leader.
