The Rogersville (Tenn.) Middle School football team is getting a brand new makeover, courtesy of former NFL Quaterback Peyton Mannning. .
Watch what happened when Vol and NFL legend Peyton Manning sprung cutting age Riddell gear on these middle schoolers. The look on their faces is absolutely priceless.
According to the Kingsport Times-News, Manning helped players test their new equipment out with a 90-minute workout session.
Rogersville coach Jeremy Bailey said the surprise made his team feel “invincible.”
“He showed (the quarterback) his three step drop, plant his foot and throw, working with the wide receivers, talking about them being crisp on their routes, coming back to the ball, curls and hitches,” Bailey told the Kingsport Times-News. “Talking to the quarterbacks about staying in the pocket. Use your feet. Use your eyes. See it happen and just be accurate on your throws. He stayed from 3:30 to 5 p.m. just working offense.”
