Denver Broncos quarterback, Peyton Manning, spoke to the media on Wednesday (3rd February), four days ahead of Super Bowl 50, when they face Carolina Panthers in Santa Clara, California, USA.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos quarterback (on Panthers quarterback Cam Newton)

"I can't speak for him. He's a great quarterback, that's what I can tell you. He was an outstanding college quarterback. You should be a great quarterback in the NFL if you are an outstanding quarterback in the best conference in college football, right, the SEC (Southeastern Conference), it's just a no-brainer you're going to be good in the NFL. The SEC prepares you better than any other conference. I got it out there. I'm on the record. Signing day was yesterday. But like I said, he has an outstanding career in college, when the Panthers drafted him number one, he has earned that number-one draft choice early in his career by being an outstanding player. And like I said the other day, I guess they decide on the MVP (most valuable player) on Saturday night, and if I had a vote, and if you asked me, I assume he'll be the winner because of the season that he's had."
