Football fans over the age of 30 are likely feeling their age after seeing a photo of Pro Football Hall of Famer and Tennessee Vols legend Peyton Manning that went viral this week.

Manning attended a joint practice between the Arizona Cardinals and the Denver Broncos on Thursday. After the practice was over, Manning took a selfie with Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.

Harrison Jr, of course, is the son of former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison Sr.

The elder Harrison and Manning played together in Indianapolis from 1998 to 2008.

Whew, that's a tough one for fans my age. I mean, I was an adult watching Harrison Sr and Manning play together in the mid 2000s. Seeing Harrison Jr in the NFL and taking a photo with Manning, who has been retired for a decade now, certainly puts into perspective how quickly pro careers go by.
