“He has been great to have in my corner. … he just told me different ways how to handle things in different situations. He is much more well -known than I am, so it’s good at any time you get advice from him. … he told you that you still have to live your life. He says he goes to the grocery store, goes down every time and he lives his life.
Manning has already had the NFL hype thrown around him, but he says he is not too much aware of the noise around him.
“I’m really not very aware of anyone what they think besides my coaches, my parents and some close friends who will tell me the truth. But I’m not worried about what other people think. I just want to go out there and have fun and play my game,” he said.
