The list includes Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk and some complete no-names like Trevor Insley, Mitch Unrein and Mike Roberg. They have at least one thing in common -- they all appear on among the list of players who have caught a touchdown pass from Peyton Manning, who on Sunday broke Brett Favre's record 508 career touchdown passes.
"Marvin had like 113 of them or something, 112, yeah," Manning told the Associated Press in September. "A guy named Trevor Insley, he caught one. Of course, Mitch Unrein would be that category."
Here they all are:
Prefer pie charts? Great! Via reddit user demusdesign:
Manning tallied four more TD scores in the 42-17 shellacking, growing the record to 510 now.
The guys who comprise "other" in the pie chart make the first depiction more like an eye chart, are as follows:
Dominic Rhodes 4
Marshall Faulk 4
Troy Walters 4
Qadry Ismail 3
James Mungro 3
Andre Caldwell 3
Knowshon Moreno 3
E.G. Green 2
Ricky Williams 2
Ben Utecht 2
Jim Finn 1
Mitch Unrein 1
Gijon Robinson 1
Aaron Moorehead 1
Luke Lawton 1
Lance Ball 1
Dan Klecko 1
Trevor Insley 1
Mike Roberg 1
Tom Santi 1
Lamont Warren 1
Kenton Keith 1
Emmanuel Sanders 1
Some pretty interesting names there. Recall Mitch Unrein, a Broncos defensive tackle who lined up at fullback in a Dec. 2012 game on a first-and-goal from the 1.
"Luckily, I didn't drop it," Unrein told the AP. "I didn't have very much time to get nervous, but I was definitely thinking about it a little bit before the snap. It happened so fast."
Unrein spiked the ball, then chase after it.
"I kept it and had Peyton sign it," Unrein said.
As for Insley's contribution to the list? Manning remembers that one.
"I can't remember a lot of things, important things, but I have a lot of useless information," Manning said. "I can remember Trevor Insley caught a pass up the left sideline against Atlanta on a fake screen pass."
Then there's tight end Mike Roberg. A 7th round draft pick by Carolina in 2001, Roberg only played two seasons in the NFL, with Tampa Bay in 2001 and the next year in Indianapolis. In his entire career, Roberg caught two passes. One of them was a 15-yard touchdown pass from Manning.
That's one heck of a souvenier for that fraternity of 1's.
