We haven't seen Peyton Manning throw a touchdown pass since January 8, 2011. That's when the New York Jets beat the Indianapolis Colts in an AFC wild-card playoff game, long before a string of neck surgeries led to Manning's year-long hiatus and a major career shift. The big question for the Denver Broncos is whether they have a fully healthy Peyton Manning or a shadow of the five-time All-Pro. Mike Klis of The Denver Post watched Manning through four weeks of offseason activities and judged the quarterback's arm strength to be at 85-to-90 percent of what it was before the surgeries. Klis told PFT Live on Tuesday that number was up from 65 percent when Manning started OTAs. "He really came a long way in that four weeks," Klis said, adding that Manning "threw crossing patterns with zip -- and on the money."
