Former Denver Broncos cornerback Paul Manning is expected to return to college football for a fifth season. This comes following a legal situation that allows several current NFL players to seek a return to college play. A Louisiana judge's recent temporary restraining order has made it possible for some pro players, including Manning, to explore this option. Manning, an undrafted free agent who signed with the Broncos earlier this year, was cut just over a month after joining the team. After a brief period with the NFL, he now aims to continue his collegiate career with hopes of furthering his football aspirations.
