Peyton Manning is 2,148 yards away from his 16th NFL record
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is a first ballot Hall of Famer, and I cannot think of anyone that will dispute that. He is returning this year to try to break a record that is held currently by Brett Favre, and he should be able to do it.
Brett Favre is the current leader in career passing yard with 71,838 yards. Peyton Manning is just 2,147 yards behind #4, and if he is able to break the record this year, he will have his sixteenth record in the NFL.
