Peyton Manning doesn’t make a habit of being outdone, but a brave 4-year-old boy seems to have done just that.

A.J. Cucksey, a 4-year-old Knoxville native with an inoperable brain tumor, sang “Rocky Top” during Manning’s trip to Knoxville earlier this week for one of his annual charity events in the area — a golf tournament.

Cucksey told Manning, “I think I know your favorite song,” and then sang it to him.

Manning seemed impressed, according to this video from WATE-TV in Knoxville.

Cucksey’s father told WATE that he never ceases to be amazed by his son’s courage during an ordeal that’s difficult to imagine.

“You always hear the phrase ‘cut from a different cloth.’ Well, he’s cut from a different cloth,” John Cucksey told WATE. “You don’t see a lot of adults that endure what he’s endured.”
