NFL legend Peyton Manning congratulates Jim Mora on taking CSU job

Peyton Manning has a welcome for Jim Mora at Colorado State.

The former NFL and Denver Broncos legend recorded a message of congratulations for the new CSU football coach. CSU athletic director John Weber shared a video message from Manning on X on Dec. 1, shortly after Mora was formally introduced in a press conference at Canvas Stadium.

"Congratulations on coming to CSU. Have so much respect for you," Manning said. "You and your family mean a lot to me and happy that you're back in Colorado coaching football. Wish you the best of luck."

Mora's dad (also Jim Mora) was Manning's coach early in his career with the Indianapolis Colts.
