LOOK: Peyton Manning stopped by Texas practice to talk safety, championships
Posted August 18th, 2017
On Thursday, Peyton Manning’s newest football venture brought him to Austin, where he spent some time visiting with Texas players, coaches and equipment staff.
The retired five-time NFL MVP is advising helmet manufacturer Riddell in its efforts to make football safer. Riddell recently outfitted the Longhorns with its new Insite helmets.

Inside each helmet is a set of sensors that gather information on G-forces and the direction of each hit received. Apparently, they also come with a visit from a two-time Super Bowl champion.
Check out some of the Longhorns’ social media reactions below.
