Watch: 'Fired-up' Peyton Manning goes skydiving for first time

Retired Pro Football Hall of Famer Peyton Manning has time to try new things, including skydiving. 

In a post on his Instagram over the weekend, the 46-year-old former Colts and Broncos star seemed to have butterfles as he took up the high-flying activity for the first time recently.

“We’re about jump out of a plane,” said Manning in the video. “I’m honored to be here in support of the Navy SEAL foundation. … My first time, I’m a little nervous, but I’m with some real pros in this, some real experienced guys, so I know I’m in good hands and I’m fired up.”

Manning, who is involved with several charities, stuck his landing.

“It was incredible, absolutely incredible,” said Manning in the video.

The Navy SEAL foundation is a nonprofit that provides support to veterans. According to their website, it has invested more than $16 million in direct program support for the Naval Special Warfare community and its families. 

Manning won two Super Bowls and earned five NFL MVP awards during his career.
