Brady Looking Forward To Facing Peyton The Bronco

BOSTON (CBS) - With Peyton Manning officially a member of the Denver Broncos, one of his fiercest rivals is wishing him nothing but the best.

"I have a lot of respect for Peyton Manning as a person and as a player. He is a great role model and always puts the team first. And he is a great leader and representative for the NFL," Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said on his Facebook page Tuesday afternoon. "Like always, it will be fun to compete against him this year when the New England Patriots play the Denver Broncos."
