There will always be comparisons between these two amazing quarterbacks. However, their rivalry may not have been what it seemed, as Peyton Manning has now revealed a shocking secret they shared during their playing days.

During Brady’s number retirement ceremony with the New England Patriots, Manning was invited to give a speech. The two-time Super Bowl champion disclosed that their mutual dominance was due to secretly working out together to improve.

“I said, ‘Tom, let’s get together, go under the radar, don’t tell anybody we’re coming in.‘ Tom flies in on Mr. Kraft’s plane,” Manning said on Wednesday, via the Indianapolis Star. “We lifted weights together. We threw together with these high school receivers. We took their phones away.

“We said, ‘If you tell anybody that Tom Brady and I are working out together, and that we’re friends, we’re going to kill all of you.’”

Tom Brady is perhaps the most obvious choice for the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Having retired last year, he must wait until 2028, according to the rules, for his induction.

As for Peyton Manning, he retired in 2016, making him eligible for induction starting in 2021. He was understandably inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first eligible year, donning the gold jacket on August 8, 2021
