Peyton Manning announced his retirement on Monday afternoon and held a press conference to announce his decision. When the news leaked on Sunday, many celebrities and athletes took to social media to say farewell to Manning. Even more did so today.
And the current Tennessee football team wanted to make sure they could show their appreciate to Manning too.
Head football coach Butch Jones tweeted out a video after the team finished up their first spring practice of 2016 of him and the whole team singing “Rocky Top” to say goodbye to Peyton Manning.
When you are a Vol, you are a Vol for Life! Thank you for everything you have done for the University of Tennessee!https://t.co/f2DEI3BThB

Manning has visited the Vols many times since Butch Jones took over as head coach in December of 2012, and he’s likely to come and see the Vols even more now that he’s retired.
