Peyton Manning Accomplishments
“Anyone who waits for someone else to make a change automatically becomes a follower”-Peyton Manning
Peyton Manning is one of many who cares,and one who's a famous for being a super bowl 50 champion. Why I chose Peyton Manning as a hero is because he doesn't just care for football he also cares for other things,like his family. He cares about other people so much he has his own charity,it's called PeyBack Foundation He had a successful career as a colt and broncos quarter back. Now he is a father of two kids.

That is why I chose Peyton Manning as a one

    Troy Polamalu

    The player that was drafted in the first round of the 2003 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers is known for his tenacity, but even better for his behavior on and off the field. Troy Polamalu is a two time Superbowl champion and the National Football League's 2010 Defensive player of the year, but you will never hear him stating that he deserves the praise for either of these two accomplishments. The Safety is known for constantly being involved with the community and working hard to make an impact on the field, but he expects very little fanfare and publicity. Troy is the embodiment of ethics in a sport that includes bone breaking hits and trash talkers that can rival the likes of Michael Jordan and Chad Ochocinco. He is an ethical model because of his actions on the field, his selfless attitude, and his contributions to the community.…

    Webster’s Dictionary defines a hero as “a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities” , while I believe that is a true definition of the term; a hero to me is a person who is willing to sacrifice their wellbeing either physically or emotionally through great or brave acts to protect others. The 2015 Espy Awards, more specifically the Arthur Ashe Courage Award and the Pat Tillman Award for Service, were full of controversy in regards to this years nominees and winners. The outcome of The 2015 Espy Awards is just another domino in the domino effect of how today’s population idolizes celebrities and athletes over military personnel, police officers, and firefighters: our nation’s protectors and true heroes. Through idolizing…

    “Do your job.” A simple quote by Bill Belichick (New England Patriots Head Football Coach) but this quote means a lot about my character. The reason it means a lot to me is because if you work tremendously hard and do your job your team will be successful. My head football coach, Mike Rowe uses this quote as well and adds “If everybody does your job you will be successful. Trust your teammates since they will fight for you and the rest of the team.” I am tying this quote to football but it can be used in any team sport you are involved in. Football teaches character and that’s why I love it so much. I’ve learned so much about myself and how I want to live my life just from being in football.…

    Thanks to Manning, teams now rely on quarterbacks to pass for over four thousand yards every season – a number that only two quarterbacks reached in 1998. Manning made four thousand yards a necessary number and now nearly half of the NFL quarterbacks reach that number and several eclipse five thousand yards on a yearly basis. A current football great Tom Brady said, “He’s done it so gracefully, so admirably. He set the standard for how to play the quarterback position” (King). Another current great, Russell Wilson said, “You inspired me to work hard. To be disciplined. To be respectful. To take notes. You inspired me to love the process” (Schneier). To hear that from players like Tom Brady and Russell Wilson that will without a doubt be inducted into the Football Hall of Fame, clearly demonstrates that Peyton Manning has inspired other quarterbacks to prepare and play just as he…

    A hero is a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements or noble qualities. These heros put their best selves forward in service to help humanity. Heros take action on behalf of others that are in need. Andrew Carnegie was in fact was a hero. This subject can be controversial because of the fact that Carnegie gave away money after he died, and not while he was alive. Carnegie started off in a very poor family and eventually became very wealthy. This shows the world that anyone can be rich, even if they were born into a poor family.
