VIDEO: Peyton Manning throws passes to Virginia seniors during graduation speech

Peyton Manning delivering the graduation speech at his wife's alma mater is a good reason to remind ourselves of how naturally funny the Denver Broncos quarterback is during a public speaking engagement.

At the University of Virginia's commencement Saturday, Manning's dry humor got plenty of laughs during his 20-minute speech to the graduating students. And, at the 1:50 mark of the video, Manning talks about his regret that he didn't get a chance to throw a football at the school's stadium while he was playing for Tennessee

So, to resolve the problem, he invited three seniors to catch a football thrown from the podium.
