Peyton Manning donned the Tennessee Orange once again on Sunday … throwing on shoulder pads and his old No. 16 threads for Morgan Wallen‘s big concert in Knoxville!!
The country music superstar had a gig at the Volunteers’ Neyland Stadium … and as he made his way to the stage for the set, the two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback helped walk him out.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Manning — who tore it up for the Vols in the mid ’90s — understood the assignment … even wearing a helmet as he escorted Wallen from the locker room.
The crowd went nuts when Manning popped up on the screen … but he wasn’t the only one representing Tennessee — as current players Nico Iamaleava and Bru McCoy and coach Josh Heupel also took part in the pre-show festivities.
Of course, Wallen is a huge Tennessee fan … and even has a few songs about his love for the Vols. He’s also shown love for other cities’ local teams throughout his tour … but given his fandom, this one hits different.
The vibes are high for Rocky Top backers … as the squad is currently one of the highest-ranked teams in the country — and had a solid road win over Oklahoma the day before.
So even though Peyton looked ready to take the field again, the Vols are doing just fine without him!!
