'Dear Peyton' Gatorade ad reveals Manning's heartfelt personal letters

Get the tissues ready.

Peyton Manning has become one of the most beloved players in NFL history for his performances, legacy, and personality.

Throughout his career, teammates and coaches have shared stories about how great a teammate he was, but this Gatorade ad - entitled "Dear Peyton" - pulls the curtain further back.

The ad features teammates, coaches, fans, family, and the media - including Tony Dungy, his brother Eli Manning, father Archie Manning, Demaryius Thomas, Brandon Stokley, Jeff Saturday, Derek Jeter, and Chris Mortensen - reading letters written by Peyton, followed by the recipients' thoughts and feelings towards the two-time Super Bowl champion.
