Tom Brady studied Peyton Manning and the Colts offense during his career

Tom Brady revealed on a Fanatics video that he studied every Indianapolis Colts play following the conclusion of each NFL season throughout his career. Brady cited Peyton Manning as the gold standard for quarterback performance during his time in the league. While Brady and the New England Patriots secured more Super Bowl victories, he maintained that the offensive output and success of the Colts under Manning provided essential learning material. Manning holds various franchise records for the Indianapolis Colts, including 54,828 passing yards and 399 touchdowns, and led the team to a Super Bowl victory before winning another title with the Denver Broncos. Brady, who retired with seven Super Bowl wins and significant league passing records, expressed regret that he and Manning never swapped jerseys during their competitive tenures.
