Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are widely considered two of the NFL's greatest quarterbacks, but the amazing stories of how they reached the sport's pinnacle are as varied as the men themselves.
Manning has spent a lifetime chasing his father's legacy and the outsized expectations that came with being a blue-chip prospect at every level. Brady has chased something different -- he's chased away doubts and chased off more physically gifted athletes.
"I feel like I have to come out here and earn a position like everyone else," Brady said. "I try to be the best quarterback on this team."
