In 1997, Wyoming kicker Cory Wedel stood in line at an Arizona resort, waiting to check in. Behind him, someone said “Hi, Cory.” Wedel turned and saw Peyton Manning. Although the two never had met, the Tennessee quarterback already had figured out who he was.
That weekend, Wedel hung out in Archie Manning’s suite along with Peyton and his older brother, Cooper. Gil Brandt stopped in. “So right off the bat, I’m like, ‘Holy cow. These are legends, and I’m getting to talk to them?”’ Wedel said.
