In 2007, Peyton can become the first NFL QB to throw 25 touchdowns passes in 10 consecutive seasons, and also the first in the history of the game to pass for 4,000 yards in eight different seasons. You can’t help but think how similar he is to Johnny Unitas — both Colts, both classic quarterbacks. Here’s how Peyton stands against other notable QBs in touchdown passes through the first nine years of their careers:
- Peyton Manning - 275
- Dan Marino - 266
- Brett Favre - 235
- Jim Kelly - 201
- Johnny Unitas - 187
