Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning delivered a commencement speech at the University of Virginia last weekend and as he does best, threw footballs to a few of the graduating seniors.

Manning’s wife, Ashley, went to the University of Virginia — something he joked happened because she couldn’t get into his alma mater, Tennessee.

“One regret I have is that I never had a chance to throw any football passes here on this lawn. So if you will indulge me, I’m going to fulfill that dream right now. I’m going to challenge three graduating seniors to catch a pass,” he said.

He added:

“If you’re nervous, I understand. Seriously, there is no pressure here at all. If you drop it, it will not be on YouTube, I promise,” he said.

It, of course, was immediately posted on YouTube.
