When you take into account the influential careers of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning, it's no surprise there are many who consider the Mannings to be the first family of football.

And now that Peyton Manning is on the precipice of finally calling it quits on his nearly two-decade long NFL career, it's only fitting his brother, Eli, would narrate a video giving an abbreviated summation of Peyton's Hall of Fame-worthy career.

As you can see in the clip, Peyton's story didn't start at Indianapolis or the University of Tennessee, but in the backyard with his dad and his brothers.

And while pretty much every football fan, from Denver, Indianapolis or otherwise, is in awe of what 39-year-old Peyton Manning has achieved in his professional career, it becomes obvious while watching this video the most impressive thing about Peyton is the fact he's always been this way.

He's always had the work ethic, the support of his family and an unparalleled love for the game of football.

Today, we expect to say goodbye to The Sheriff for good, but we'll always have the highlights, the memories and the "Omahas."
